Tennis star Serena Williams accused the U.S. Open final umpire, Carlos Ramos, of sexism after she was penalized for calling him a “liar” and a “thief.” Williams lost the match in straight sets to 20-year-old Naomi Osaka.
Williams said the incident was a case in point of the glaring double standards according to which male and female tennis players are judged. Read more…

We were invited to check out the first tennis match in space, which was broadcast on the Unisphere in Queens, New York, on August 21.

Sometimes, a good public outcry is all you need.
After female tennis player Alizé Cornet briefly removed her shirt while changing on the court of the U.S. Open on Wednesday, the umpire issued her a warning — and immediately incited outrage. Fans complained that similar warnings had not been issued to male tennis players.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Open actually responded to complaints and issued a public apology.

The U.S. Open has a lot of thoughts about tennis — and women’s boobs.
On Wednesday, French tennis player Alizé Cornet walked onto the court of the U.S. Open and realized that her shirt was on backwards. Instead of running to the women’s locker room, Cornet took off her shirt in public and then put it on the right way.
Umpire Christian Rask then charged her with a code violation, prompting necessary amounts of outrage.
At the time of the incident, temperatures at the U.S. Open in New York hovered in the mid-nineties. It’s possible that Cornet didn’t want to expend additional energy running off to the locker room. Read more…
