So she rightfully was penalized. Okay sure But it'd be nice if they actually followed the standard I see where you're coming from now, hostility lowered Maybe this will force them to try and be more consistent going forward...maybe. Somewhat unrelated: Didn't Serena get verbally abusive with a line judge a couple years back too? Even threatened her. She does need to tone it back. a few years ago? dude, NFL and NBA players do it literally every game. some of these guys are prone to fines. if Serena is going years between verbal abuse, it's even more clear how bad her critics are trying to reach. there would be a lot less "whataboutism" if there was consistency in the judgements though. lack of consistency is why there is suspicion. in a professional sport, the athletes aren't the only professionals... There are different expectations in tennis. It would be better to compare her rare outbursts of terrible sportsmanship with the nonexistent outbursts from Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic. Well, Djokovic occasionally destroys his racquets and gets penalized but thats directed at himself. --- "I have never understood why it is greed to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money."
