Totally agree. I picked up on that as well. As you say she could and should have said so much more. A true sportsperson and champion would have been far more gracious in defeat.

She's a proper piece of shit. She defends her appalling behaviour all the time, either by playing the race card, or by playing the misogynistic victim

Best journalism I have read on the topic. Not a women are victims or a white man couldn’t hack a black woman challenging them argument.

It's official, men are being unfairly treated by match officials ;)

It is hard to see how misogyny applies in a Ladies only competition where the ladies are paid considerably more for their time on court and on tv than the men are. Ms Williams opponent was also a woman. It is easier to see how being completely obnoxious won't get you any leniency.
