Fighting like beavers.
Doubles is fun in person but not on television. The points are shorter than singles AND there is more time between points because the players insist on having a cover-the-mouth strategy chat before every serve.

Even if you agree with the WTA and the double-standard assertion, I don’t understand why anyone would ultimately empathize with Serena here. Surely the solution is to penalize more men for abusing umpires, rather than to allow everyone to abuse umpires? Unless you enjoy watching unprofessional petulant tantrums because you somehow think it shows “fire” or “strength”. The umpires shouldn’t need to tolerate harassment at work.
