Has it? I don't really know how tennis is organised, but while the Women's Tennis Association came out in her defence, she was also fined $17k for her behaviour, which doesn't suggest that her complaint has been upheld by anyone that matters.
Ah, OK, perhaps that's what I heard then, that they'd come out in support of her. I stand corrected.
I've heard of lots of anecdotal evidence of male players engaging in similar behaviour without much actual statistical evidence that would suggest a gender discrepancy.
The BBC article on the topic gives the following info:
As I said, I don't really watch tennis that much, but I've never seen another player rant for that long before, and certainly not after 2 prior offences.
I haven't seen the whole incident, but what I did see certainly was rather OTT.
