Nothing to with her sex, she cheated and then did not like being made to look the fool she is.

| Williams was so out of line and embarrassing to suggest behaviour like that is acceptable because she is a mother. She should be banned from playing - also feel for the winner of the match who missed out on the joy of the win and the attention that should have been given to her. | 448 | 470 | 22 | RiverS |
| Ha ha Sally Jenkins, look at the comments, NZ does not agree with you. | 443 | 479 | 36 | Censornot |

| Serena = Diva. Stole the limelight away from a most worthy champion who simply outplayed her on the day. | 339 | 356 | 17 | C Eastwood |
| This journalist is joke just like Serena Williams. Her coach admitted coaching from the side.. Code Violation. Smash a racquet .. Code Violation . Calling an umpire a thief .. unacceptable. She ruined the occasion for Osaka.. then has the cheek to try to excuse her behaviour by creating a tennis âme tooâ movement . May be time to bow out while you do have some respect | 324 | 338 | 14 | Ron Stewart |
What a laughable analysis. Champions get heated, so should be allowed to abuse umpires as they see fit.
Yet another pathetic example of Americans seeking out a scapegoat when their sporting champions get spanked.

| Disgraceful article, you cheat, you argue with umpire. Two big no nos.Except the consequences. Dont turn it into a sexist rant. Her behaviour was complete unacceptable | 281 | 297 | 16 | Theabsolutetruth |
| Serina is not a victim in how this played out... Calling an umpire a thief and breaking her racquet is poor sportsmanship. She is better than that. | 260 | 296 | 36 | Curious Sort |
| Naomi Osaka deserved to win. She played the better tennis. Carlos Ramos did the right thing, the game of tennis is bigger than Serena Williams.

| What products does this spoilt brat endorse - tell me so I can avoid them. Congratulations to Naomi - a real champion. | 241 | 254 | 13 | Talibon |
Wow. What abject misandry masquerading as an opinion piece. Dont believe me? Try replacing every she with he, woman with man - and read it again...

| I completely disagree that the umpire ruined the final. Serena did that all by herself. She got coaching from her coach during the game. The umpire has correctly enforced the rules and Williams has taken it personally and turned it personal. Citing herself as being a role model to her daughter and then carrying on like that! That says more about her character than what she thinks her character is. Accepting the umpires decision would be better teaching for her child. What a way for Williams to ruin the first Grand Slam for the young Japanese girl. | 229 | 244 | 15 | Scottie_D |
| Such BS. Serena is a bad loser, you dont talk to umpires/referees/officials like that, of any sex, in any sport. | 223 | 237 | 14 | Carrio |
| Utter rubbish. She cheated. Her coach admitted they cheated. She should get a lengthy ban. Plain and simple.
It was the most petulant display since McEnroe.
The only sexism on display was her trying use her having a child as some kind defence and insinuate she was above reproach because of reproducing.
But of course, the WP has to go on the offensive and couldnt possibly imagine one of their darlings might be flawed. No no, best distract and it all about muh feminism | 214 | 222 | 8 | KnightsWhoSayNi |
| I didnt get my own way and Im a woman so its sexist....... Really are you for real can you really get this upset about loosing? | 206 | 218 | 12 | Oarsum4x |
| Serena was petulant, rude and abusive. And her coach admitted that they cheated, even if she wishes to lie about it. At the very least, she owes the umpire an apology for her brattish behaviour. | 201 | 213 | 12 | MadManMo |
| Once I saw it was an opinion piece from The Washington Post, I didnt bother reading it. Just one persons opinion and nothing more than that. Came straight to the comments though, as I knew theyd be fun | 200 | 220 | 20 | SZ135 |
