    I've heard the argument that women react differently to criticism and the umpire was wrong in his actions.
    Unbelievably, IMO, the tennis authorities have backed her!

    Is this the beginning of the end for men officiating on women's tennis?
    Most of her male and female colleagues seem to agree with her. So I'd say she has a point.

    The stats do not back her up

    "What do the stats say?

    Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, was one of 10 women punished for code violations at this year's US Open, while 26 men were fined.

    Most of the fines issued were for racquet violations - 14 men and five women.
    Three men and three women were penalised for an audible obscenity, five men were fined for time delays, while four men and one woman were penalised for unsportsmanlike conduct.

    Only the vocal ones. She doesn't have a point, she embarrassed herself, realised she had embarrassed herself and instead of getting on with it, tried to play the victim card.
