Not to take this off topic of the Serena show, but when has Coco been happy about anything?

Also, by not enforcing rules that would otherwise apply because it’s a Championship match, an umpire is placing a thumb on the scale in a different way. Rex’s point about the interplay between Serena’s acrions and the crowd is an astute one. And again, I just find it really hard to believe that if the nationalities of the players were reversed that Ramos would be taking heat. The same people criticizing Ramos would be ripshit if an umpire gave a pass to an Australian player acting like that against a young American player vying for her first Grand Slam in the Aussie Open Final.
Since you coincidentally mentioned Australia, if you want to see your scenario play out read the Australian papers. They are just trashing Serena, with even a racist cartoon.

The Aussies don't forget. Serena also behaved similarly after being called for 'hinderance' against Sam Stosur.
