Serena Williams accuses chair umpire of sexism during dramatic US Open final loss
Serena Williams got into a shouting row with the Chair Umpire during the US Open's Women's final and called him a 'thief.'
On Saturday, Serena Williams' bid for a record-tying 24th Grand Slam title was in troubled waters after Naomi Osaka, a first-time major finalist, dominated the match for a set and a game.
It all started when the chair umpire, Carlos Ramos, interpreted an allegedly "innocent thumbs up" from Serena Williams' coach as a helpful signal.
Ramos pointed out to Williams after the gesture that getting coaching during a match isn't allowed. Serena responded saying cheating "is the one thing I've never done, ever."
