Serena Williams highlights the inequalities in tennis, but in the best way?

Williams, who participated in this tournament, was hoping to win his first Grand Slam title after giving birth to his daughter last year. At 36, she's a woman who has reached the top of the sports world after growing up in Compton, California. As an African-American, she had to face all kinds of abuses from opposing players, officials, leaders, and fans. and must even face the return of his choice of clothes. This year, she wore a catsuit at the French Open, but tournament officials decided to ban her for the future because she "did not respect the game and the place".

It must be difficult to carry this burden as a model for many.

Let's not forget, though, that the biggest burden she probably faces is that of people who are still trying to beat her on the court and Saturday, across the net, a formidable and frustrating opponent that many see as a younger version.

So, instead of a game for the ages, of the announcement of a young and deserving talent, one will probably remember the fact that Williams called the referee a sexist liar and later of his complaints for the equal rights for all women. But if you take a closer look, it's also true that this referee has been tough on the best male players. The difference is that men did not have their arguments with him.

The Williams tirade was not a good time for a woman who is an icon for women, female athletes, African-Americans and working mothers. She's so much better than Serena Williams who showed up on Saturday.

"If I had behaved like that on a tennis court, I would wait to get everything that happened to Serena," said Martina Navratilova, who has won 18 Grand Slam titles and nine titles from Wimbledon. in the sport. "He should stop there with the warning, but Serena just could not give up."

She added, "She had quite the right message about inequality between women, but it was not the right time to talk about it."

Ramos officiated with his usual demanding eye. He gave Williams a warning for training in the second set. His action was justified because Williams coach Patrick Mouratoglou admitted to coaching him.
