Yeah, I think Osaka would have won in the end, but the ump did an amazing job of putting that under a cloud

Here's my take: The original, coaching warning was ticky tack. It should have resulted in either a mental note on the ump's part or an unofficial warning. The racket warning is open and shut. I think the third should have had an unofficial "if you do not stop, I will issue a game penalty" notice, and that should be in all situations before a game penalty is first assessed, but that's me. She did keep on chirping him after she did officially get the third, so maybe it wouldn't have stopped it from coming down. I sincerely believe Osaka would have won, either in a close 2nd set or in the 3rd. Serena didn't seem to have it, though she was getting back into things in the 2nd, though the warnings tilted her out of the match. The long and short of it: I think the umpire decided to insert himself into a major championship.

nachos posted:Penalizing the game was harsh even if it was the third infraction but Serena really did not need to melt down the way she did after the first warning It was after the second for what it's worth when she broke her racket that she really melted down. I don't think she realized it was an official warning at that point.
