JK Rowling leads condemnation of 'racist and sexist' cartoon of Serena Williams at US Open final
Mark Knight's cartoon of Serena Williams depicts her with a smashed racket and a pacifier following the US Open loss
On Monday, the Herald Sun, an Australian newspaper, published a controversial cartoon of Serena Williams portrayed as an angry baby just two days after the Tennis legend lost the US Open final.
The chair umpire slapped Williams with three code violations on Saturday during her loss to Naomi Osaka.
The first violation was when Williams' coach gestured to her during the match, which she argued saying “I don’t cheat to win – I’d rather lose.” Later, Williams received another violation after she smashed her racket - thereby costing her a point. But that wasn't the end of it. She then called chair umpire Carlos Ramos a "thief," resulting in her third violation of the match and ultimately costing her the game, reported Business Insider.
