US Open Final

“I don’t cheat to win. I’d rather lose.” —Serena

I followed this US Open up until the the final match that I ended up missing today. After seeing what transpired, I’m glad I did. I just knew it was gonna be a tough, nail-biting, exciting match between two Black women—one who’s the greatest athlete of all-time and the other who’s a young, hungry, explosive player who’s competing against her idol—who were gonna put on an amazing, historic show.

That didn’t happen.

Carlos Ramos, the asshole umpire who called a coaching violation against Serena during her match against Naomi Osaka at the US Open Final, called the same thing against Venus during her match against Alize Cornet at the French Open in 2016. Both stood their ground and refuted it. He’s doesn’t do it to the men, even after Rafael Nadal threatened him at the 2017 French Open.

Many of the fans were already on edge because they were rooting for Serena. To bring his bullshit to the game, intensify an uneasy atmosphere, and cause Naomi’s first win to be overshadowed by it to the point that she tearfully apologized during her speech to the crowd almost as if she was sorry for winning, is ri-fucking-diculous.

Serena is not a sore loser, which people who dislike her always peg her to be. She’s a gracious competitor. Always. She demonstrated it again today. She embraced Naomi, calmed down the crowd, and made sure was Naomi wasn’t only celebrated, but felt celebrated.

Sad it had to all go down like this…

Naomi, who’s Japanese-Haitian American and representing the country of Japan, is the first Japanese to win a Grand Slam singles title. That woman is gonna go so far.

“Williams told Ramos “You stole a point from me and you are a thief.” Ramos took the remark as verbal abuse, and awarded a game to Osaka.”

Serena is A True Queen, even after being robbed of a game by a hating ass umpire, sis is still GRACIOUS and showing love to her opponent in their win.

“Osaka played the way you have to play to beat the greatest athlete of all time, but it should never have ended like this. An umpire’s feelings should never decide a game. Serena is absolutely right that men say a lot worse things and never get a violation. Bad moment for sports.” - Michael Skolnik

be sure to understand ur s/o’s way of showing affection and make them aware of yours.. some ppl show affection by buying u things and some ppl will say I love u a million times and some will make u breakfast some will leave u the last ice cream, but it’s really important to know about these things bc u could not notice them and feel unloved while your s/o feels taken for granted and it’s just all a big misunderstanding so please talk about these things
