Williams argued with umpire Carlos Ramos throughout the second setSerena Williams accused the umpire of sexism in docking her a game in the US Open final and said she had not been cheating.Naomi Osaka’s 6-2 6-4 victory was overshadowed by Williams’ extraordinary outbursts in the second set.She received a code violation for coaching, a penalty point for racquet abuse and a game penalty for calling the umpire a “liar” and a “thief”.Afterwards the American said it was “sexist” to have been penalised a game.Osaka wins title as Williams implodesMurray wins second US Open mixed title”He’s never taken a game from a man because they said ‘thief’,” the 36-year-old added.”But I’ve seen other men call other umpires several things. “I’m here fighting for women’s rights and for women’s equality and for all kinds of stuff.”The issues began when Williams’ coach Patrick Mouratoglou made a hand gesture towards her early in the second set.Williams denied she received coaching saying she would “never cheat to win and would rather lose” and demanded an apology from the umpire Carlos Ramos.Mouratoglou, however, later admitted coaching.Three games later Osaka was awarded a point when Williams was given another code violation for smashing her racquet.Williams was furious, walking up to Ramos, shouting and pointing at him as the crowd started booing in support of the former world number one in a toxic atmosphere.At the next change of ends Williams continued to rant, saying to Ramos: “you are a liar”, “say you are sorry,” and calling him a “thief” for awarding a point to Osaka.”For me, it blows my mind,” the 23-time Grand Slam champion said.”But I’m going to continue to fight for women and to fight for us to have equal.”I just feel like the fact that I have to go through this is just an example for the next person that has emotions, and that want to express themselves, and want to be a strong woman. “They’re going to be allowed to do that because of today. Maybe it didn’t work out for me, but it’s going to work out for the next person.”‘I was not being coached’

Mouratoglou started coaching Williams in 2012After the match Mouratoglou admitted he was coaching but added: “I don’t think she looked at me”. He also said Osaka’s coach was doing the same and that “everyone does it”.On-court coaching is allowed in WTA events but not in Grand Slams with the rules saying “communication of any kind” between player and coach is banned.In her post-match news conference Williams said she was she “was not being coached” and that she “did not understand” why Mouratoglou would say he was doing so.”I just texted Patrick, like, ‘what is he talking about?’ Because we don’t have signals,” she said.”We have never discussed signals. I don’t even call for on-court coaching [in WTA events].”I’m trying to figure out why he would say that. I don’t understand.”I want to clarify myself what he’s talking about.”‘I didn’t know what was going on’

Osaka was in tears at the situation during the post-match ceremonyBefore Williams’ outbursts Osaka had dominated the first set in her first Grand Slam final, playing against a player whom she describes as her idol.Throughout the second set she stayed composed in a difficult atmosphere to become Japan’s first major winner.Afterwards she said she “didn’t know what was going on” between Williams and the umpire.”I was just trying to focus,” Osaka said.”Since it was my first Grand Slam final, I did not want to get overwhelmed.”Serena came to the bench and told me she had a point penalty and when she got the game penalty I didn’t know that either.”I was just trying to focus on myself at that time,” Osaka said.Live scores, schedule and resultsAlerts: Get tennis news sent to your phone Read More | BBC Sport

Serena Williams repeatedly argued with umpire Carlos Ramos during the final2018 US OpenVenue: Flushing Meadows, New York Dates: 27 August-9 September Coverage: Live radio coverage on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra; live text commentaries on the BBC Sport websiteNaomi Osaka won the US Open after an angry Serena Williams accused the umpire of being a “thief” in some of the most dramatic scenes at a Grand Slam final.Williams was given a game penalty for her outburst, which followed racquet smashing and another code violation as Osaka won 6-2 6-4 in New York.Osaka, 20, kept her focus to become the first Japanese to win a Grand Slam.Williams refused to shake hands with umpire Carlos Ramos after the match.The American, 36, graciously congratulated Osaka at the net after the 20th seed completed an extraordinary victory and, although Williams’ behaviour will grab the attention, nothing should detract from a classy and composed display from Osaka at Flushing Meadows.”I’m sorry it had to end like this,” a crying Osaka said.How could Djokovic become a bigger earner than Federer?Murray wins second US Open mixed doubles titleWhat happened?Williams was given a first code violation after Ramos judged a gesture from coach Patrick Mouratoglou to be coaching – which is allowed on the WTA Tour but not during Grand Slams.Williams insisted she had not received any tactics from Mouratoglou, telling the umpire she would “never cheat to win and would rather lose”.The Frenchman later admitted to ESPN that he had been coaching from the box. “I was coaching but I don’t think she looked at me,” Mouratoglou said. “Sash [Osaka’s coach Sascha Bajin] was coaching as well, everybody does it.”She then received another for a racquet smash at 3-2 in the second set, leading to Ramos docking her a point as Osaka started at 15-0 in the following game.Williams was furious, walking up to Ramos, shouting and pointing at him as the crowd started booing in support of the former world number one. The drama continued as the atmosphere in Ashe became more toxic.Williams, still angry with Ramos for the previous two violations, refused to let the issue slide and launched an extraordinary rant at him at the changeover with Osaka leading 4-3. “You are a liar. You will never be on a court of mine as long as you live. When are you going to give me my apology? Say you are sorry,” she told him.That led to Ramos docking her the next game – leaving Osaka just one more away from victory at 5-3 up.Boos continued to rain down, generating incredible noise, as Williams refused to take to the court and demanded an intervention from the tournament referee.Eventually she returned to the baseline, serving out a game to love before Osaka showed remarkable focus to hold the final game for her first Grand Slam win.Boos, anger & tears

Naomi Osaka was left hiding her tears at the presentation ceremony of her first Grand Slam trophyWilliams is a national icon in the United States, as well as a global star around the world, and had the backing of the 24,000-capacity Arthur Ashe Stadium.But the boisterous crowd was quietened as Osaka came out firing at the six-time champion.Osaka, playing in her first Grand Slam final and against her idol, showed no fear as her aggressive approach led to multiple errors from Williams’ racquet.Williams’ first serve percentage was down at 38% and made 13 unforced errors as Osaka broke for 2-1 and 4-1 leads on her way to the opening set.The Ashe crowd, whilst remaining respectful towards Osaka, was already upset with the way Williams had been treated by Ramos and unhappiness turned to anger during the madness of the second set.Security staff ran on to the perimeter of the court as Ramos walked off and the Portuguese did not return, as he would usually have done, for the trophy presentation.More boos followed at the start of the ceremony, leading to Osaka pulling her visor down over her eyes to hide her tears.Live scores, schedule and resultsAlerts: Get tennis news sent to your phone Read More | BBC Sport

Roger Federer won the US Open title five times in a row between 2004 and 20082018 US OpenVenue: Flushing Meadows, New York Dates: 27 August-9 September Coverage: Live radio coverage on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra; live text commentaries on the BBC Sport websiteRoger Federer has been knocked out of the US Open in the fourth round by world number 55 John Millman.The 37-year-old Swiss had prioritised winning a sixth title at Flushing Meadows but was beaten 3-6 7-5 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-3) in three hours 35 minutes.It is the first time Federer has lost to a player ranked outside of the top 50 at the US Open.Australian Millman will play two-time champion Novak Djokovic in his first Grand Slam quarter-final on Wednesday,Millman is the only unseeded player left in the last eight of the men’s draw.Second seed Federer, bidding for a record-extending 21st Grand Slam, missed set points in the second and third sets before capitulating in the fourth-set tie-break.Millman, 29, had never beaten a top-10 player before but suddenly found himself with five match points against arguably the greatest male player of all-time.After Federer rallied to save two of the them, Millman completed victory at almost 01:00 local time in a humid New York when the out-of-sorts Swiss lumped a forehand long.It was Federer’s first defeat in 41 matches at the US Open against a player ranked outside the top 50.Federer, usually so calm and collected, was flustered throughout most of the match as he complained about crowd noise and became unusually vocal during some tense moments.”It was very hot and one of those nights where I felt I couldn’t get air,” he said. “I just struggled in the conditions and it was one of the first times it has happened to me.”You just keep sweating and lose energy.”At some point I was just happy the match was over.”Djokovic reaches quarter-finalsDay nine preview: Williams & Nadal set for hot quarter-finalsLive scores, schedule and resultsAlerts: Get tennis news sent to your phoneWarning signs were clear for FedererAfter not dropping a set in his opening three matches, Federer looked on his way to another controlled victory when he eased to the opener in 33 minutes.However, the warning signs were clear from the start of the second set.Federer’s reliable serve has been the bedrock of his game over the years but an uncharacteristically erratic display allowed Millman to fight back and earn a memorable win.His struggles were shown by him making:77 unforced errors in the match10 double faults – his second highest at the US Open and joint third at a Grand Slam49% of first serves – his second lowest percentage in 98 US Open matches and fifth lowest in 393 Grand Slam matchesThe world number two produced a contender for one of the ugliest service games of his career, unable to find his timing as he landed just six of his 24 first serves in a 14-minute second game.He somehow managed to hold after fighting off seven break points, before breaking Millman’s serve himself to lead 3-2.But, with his first serve percentage down at 31%, Federer still looked uncomfortable.He blew two set points when serving at 5-4 and a double fault at break point gifted Millman the game and the Australian broke again as he won four games in a row to level the match.Willed on by a supportive crowd on Arthur Ashe Stadium, Federer managed to steady his service game in a tight third set and had set point but Millman hit an outrageous 100mph second serve down the middle.The Australian wasted one of his own with a long return as Federer battled to stay in the set, only to take his second chance and leave Federer facing an uphill task.Federer loses beliefFederer came back from two sets to one against Russian veteran Mikhail Youzhny at Flushing Meadows last year and briefly looked as though he could do the same when he broke in the sixth game of the fourth set.But he handed the advantage straight back as Millman continued to keep his nerve.Federer’s tension was clear in both his game and his demeanour during a stuffy night in New York.The five-time champion was continuing to toil with his groundstrokes, often opting to use drop shots which were frequently punished by Millman.Federer hit 35 dropshots throughout the match – more than he had previously hit in the whole tournament – as he lost belief from the baseline.And, in turn, his increased perspiration and some signs of irritation illustrated how tough he was finding it to turn the match around.A brief rally came when he trailed 30-0 at 5-5, finding his first serve with three in a row to fight back and hold.But back-to-back double faults – his ninth and 10th of the match – gave Millman a 4-1 lead in the tie-breaker which he would not relinquish.AnalysisBBC Sport tennis correspondent Russell FullerMillman played an outstanding match, and showed great class at its climax with his understated celebration.Federer had little confidence in his game, misfired regularly on serve, and frequently resorted to the drop shot to try and dig himself out of trouble.Let’s not forget he will remain the world number two at the conclusion of these championships, but the match conjured up memories of his fourth round defeat by Tommy Robredo here in New York in 2013.Then, Federer had back problems, and was five years younger. I thought he was unlikely to win another Grand Slam and I am so delighted he proved me wrong three and a half years later with his astonishing victory at the 2017 Australian Open, which paved the way to two further Grand Slam triumphs.I do not want to make the same mistake again. When refreshed at the start of the year in Melbourne, or on the grass of SW19 … who knows?But bear in mind that Ken Rosewall is the only man in the Open Era to have won a Grand Slam after celebrating his 37th birthday. In this phenomenal era, and over five sets in the sapping humidity of New York, we should not be at all surprised Federer has fallen short.But we are allowed to feel a little glum.

allowed Millman to fight back and earn a memorable win.His struggles were shown by him making:77 unforced errors in the match10 double faults – his second highest at the US Open and joint third at a Grand Slam49% of first serves – his second lowest percentage in 98 US Open matches and fifth lowest in 393 Grand Slam matchesThe world number two produced a contender for one of the ugliest service games of his career, unable to find his timing as he landed just six of his 24 first serves in a 14-minute second game.He somehow managed to hold after fighting off seven break points, before breaking Millman’s serve himself to lead 3-2.But, with his first serve percentage down at 31%, Federer still looked uncomfortable.He blew two set points when serving at 5-4 and a double fault at break point gifted Millman the game and the Australian broke again as he won four games in a row to level the match.Willed on by a supportive crowd on Arthur Ashe Stadium, Federer managed to steady his service game in a tight third set and had set point but Millman hit an outrageous 100mph second serve down the middle.The Australian wasted one of his own with a long return as Federer battled to stay in the set, only to take his second chance and leave Federer facing an uphill task.Federer loses beliefFederer came back from two sets to one against Russian veteran Mikhail Youzhny at Flushing Meadows last year and briefly looked as though he could do the same when he broke in the sixth game of the fourth set.But he handed the advantage straight back as Millman continued to keep his nerve.Federer’s tension was clear in both his game and his demeanour during a stuffy night in New York.The five-time champion was continuing to toil with his groundstrokes, often opting to use drop shots which were frequently punished by Millman.Federer hit 35 dropshots throughout the match – more than he had previously hit in the whole tournament – as he lost belief from the baseline.And, in turn, his increased perspiration and some signs of irritation illustrated how tough he was finding it to turn the match around.A brief rally came when he trailed 30-0 at 5-5, finding his first serve with three in a row to fight back and hold.But back-to-back double faults – his ninth and 10th of the match – gave Millman a 4-1 lead in the tie-breaker which he would not relinquish.AnalysisBBC Sport tennis correspondent Russell FullerMillman played an outstanding match, and showed great class at its climax with his understated celebration.Federer had little confidence in his game, misfired regularly on serve, and frequently resorted to the drop shot to try and dig himself out of trouble.Let’s not forget he will remain the world number two at the conclusion of these championships, but the match conjured up memories of his fourth round defeat by Tommy Robredo here in New York in 2013.Then, Federer had back problems, and was five years younger. I thought he was unlikely to win another Grand Slam and I am so delighted he proved me wrong three and a half years later with his astonishing victory at the 2017 Australian Open, which paved the way to two further Grand Slam triumphs.I do not want to make the same mistake again. When refreshed at the start of the year in Melbourne, or on the grass of SW19 … who knows?But bear in mind that Ken Rosewall is the only man in the Open Era to have won a Grand Slam after celebrating his 37th birthday. In this phenomenal era, and over five sets in the sapping humidity of New York, we should not be at all surprised Federer has fallen short.But we are allowed to feel a little glum.
