Angry Serena Williams had furious row at US Open that left her accusing umpire of sexism and apologizing to Naomi Osaka

It is 10 years since the last of the incomparable Serena Williams won the last of her six US Open singles titles and 25 years since she won her first.

However it is the 2018 final at Flushing Meadows between Williams and Naomi Osaka that will go down as one of the most remarkable – but not only for Osaka’s breakthrough moment.

The Japanese star is back in New York in 2024 – where she was also champion in 2020 – for the first time since giving birth to her first child and she faces 10th seed Jelena Ostapenko on Tuesday night.

In 2018, Osaka was the 20-year-old underdog, facing her idol on the biggest stage of her tennis life.
The fact that Williams was even on the tennis court was a miracle after being bed-ridden for six weeks in 2017 following the birth of her daughter Olympia.

Williams had her sights set on a 24th – and record-equalling – Grand Slim singles title, but it was Osaka who claimed the title, the first of her four to date.

However Williams was involved in a furious argument with umpire Carlos Ramos, as he gave her three code violations during the match.

The row had erupted after Ramos had judged her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, to have been coaching from the sidelines by using some hand gestures.
