    At least she didn't play the race card. From what I could tell was she penalized because her father or someone was giving her some kind of hand signals and that's considered coaching? I'm not a tennis fan at all but if that's the case I guess it's not like baseball where they had or have those elaborate hand gestures the coach uses?

    Looks like she got beat by 4 points then 2 points so it's not like 1 point would have changed the out come in her favor.

    Thing is, she got downright beastly when angered.

    We've seen parents get more "beastly" than that at Little League games.
    That's her profession, and the size of her paycheck depends on if she wins or not. If she gets frustrated and calls out an ump/judge for what she seems an unfair call, who can fault her. She really shouldn't need anyone to "coach" her, and her father being a parent probably couldn't keep it to himself on the sidelines and had to do the parental thing.
    At least she/family didn't physically attack the ump/judge on the court.

    Geeze, the things we have to get upset over, because she isn't the epitome of dainty feminine looks.

    Williams' coach admitted he signaled from the crowd, a violation of rules, which is, bluntly, cheating. And Serena's 6-2, 6-4 loss to Osaka was hardly the result of a "thief." She was beaten, soundly, fair and square.
