Serena Williams has been fined $17,000 for three violations after losing her temper during her loss in the US Open women’s final to Naomi Osaka.
Already down a set after losing 6-2 in the first to Osaka, the 23-time grand slam champion was in tears during an argument with chair umpire Carlos Ramos after being given two warnings, one for coaching and one for smashing her racket, after Osaka broke her serve, reports USA Today.
Williams went on to call Ramos a thief and demanded an apology from the 47-year-old umpire.
After the match, the Flushing Meadows crowd booed Ramos, who was escorted off the court.
