US Open Women’s Singles Update:

• Not so serene Serena gets bounced by a very worthy champion Osaka. Although calling the umpire a thief doesn’t seem like a hanging offense, her tone, combined with smashing her racket on the ground hard enough to destroy a Chase ATM, as well as the prior infractions resulted in a penalty that was arguably justified under the circumstances.  There’s a bit of an anger management issue that has never been addressed, and in her press conference there was really no acknowledgement that she had handled things badly, not to mention any apology.
