You had a feeling that Serena Williams’ outburst was coming.

It just wasn’t against her opponent.

Already down a set to No. 20 Naomi Osaka, Serena was issued a violation for on court coaching.

At 1-0 in the second, the chair umpire, Carlos Ramos, issued a warning to Williams and her coach Patrick Mouratoglou who was believed to be signaling to Williams.

“I don’t cheat to win, I’d rather lose.” Serena said to the chair umpire before returning to the baseline.

Replays, and an interview with ESPN broadcaster Pam Shriver, revealed that he was indeed coaching her, wanting to her to move into the net more frequently.

Serena walked up to the chair umpire, saying that she wasn’t cheating – swearing on the life of her daughter Olympia.

She was issued a second on court coaching violation six games later after smashing her racket Frustration continued to boil over- at both the violations and with her own tennis.

As she sat in her chair during the changeover, Williams’ demanded an apology from Ramos. He refused and she called him a thief for stealing a point from her in a championship match.

A third violation, this time for verbal abuse against the chair umpire, cost Williams a game.

U.S. Open Officials came onto the court to explain the rules to Williams while she argued that she was being targeted because of her gender.
