Williams was cited by official Carlos Ramos for three code violations during her 6-2, 6-4 loss to the 20-year-old Osaka on Saturday: for getting coaching signals; for breaking her racket, which cost her a point; and for calling the chair umpire a thief, which cost her a game.
All 3 violations are undisputable. Accusing the ref of sexism is just dishonest.
Her performance towards the judge was really rather nutty imo.
