36. EXCELLENT POST AND RIGHT ON THE MARK ...

I'm so sick of this sexist double-standard in tennis. It was on display last night thanks to Ramos. I love Serena. Have been a fan forever. I know she's getting older, and accept that a new generation is on the way. Times moves ON. But for God's sake, why interject yourself into a match like Ramos did? The same crap happened to her against Justine Henin in the Finals of the FO in 2003. That umpire completely destroyed that match as well. Justine also was of no help during the match, because her sportsmanship didn't allow her to admit to the chair umpire that she had HER hand up, which would have meant 2 serves for Serena. I heard the same crap that Serena has to be the bigger person during that match just like with J. Capriati too. Shut up and take it But to Justine's credit, unlike Jennifer Capriati who said she didn't see or remember any balls wide or inside the court during the whole match, or words to that effect , Justine admitted years later that she should have told the ump her hand WAS up, but she said something to the effect that she wanted the FO championship so badly, and that that match was not her best moment.

I mean, I've seen people cheating their asses off with coaching during matches. Seen folks curse at umpires, insult them. Yet, someone whose been cheated and maligned for decades and accused of concerning Williams Family match-fixing (Indian Wells), steroid use (Maria was caught using Meldonium for NO reason) and referred to as the N-word in her own country is the one called for cheating and refereed differently because she's a woman? WHY not call the matches the same way for EVERYONE, and make the RULES apply to everyone.
