Serena Williams’ Camp Should Be Ashamed After Ruining Naomi Osaka’s US Open Fairytale

Opinion: Serena Williams’ shocking US Open loss to Naomi Osaka left a bad taste in a lot of mouths and as much as most of the world’s Serena superfans don’t want to admit, it was almost entirely the 23-time champion’s fault.

The final was sent sprialling into rare territory as chair umpire Carlos Ramos pulled up Serena’s camp, catching her coach Patrick Mouratoglou gesturing for her to move closer to the net early in the second set.

Williams immediately blew up at the official, claiming she “doesn’t cheat” and would “rather lose” than be busted for foul play.
