‘Then she just grabbed me, and I was like this little baby is so smart. It’s just hard to be too down when you have a little one…when you have someone to take care of.’ 

Earlier this month, Serena was gunning for her 24th Grand Slam tournament win, during a high stakes game with Japan-born player, Naomi Osaka.

During the tennis match, which Naomi ended-up winning 6-2, 6-4, controversial coach Carlos Ramos charged the player with three code violations.

In a first violation, Carlos warned Serena, one of the world’s best players, that she was receiving coaching in a moment that set off a ripple effect.  

Serena, was then told she was docked a point for smashing her tennis racquet, which was a point penalty, sending momentum in favour of Naomi.   

The tennis star went on to say: ‘I did not get coaching, I don’t cheat. You need to make an announcement. I have a daughter and I stand for what’s right for her. You owe me an apology.’

The third shock of the game came when Serena got a third code violation for verbal abuse, with her also calling the coach a ‘thief.’ 

Champion: 'How many other men do things? There's a lot of men out here who have said a lot of things": Serena said the incident was a form of sexism after she was docked two points

The outburst saw fans split, but Serena went on to say that it was sexist, with men not getting in trouble for verbal outbursts to umpires. 

‘How many other men do things? There’s a lot of men out here who have said a lot of things. It’s because I am a woman, and that’s not right.’ 

In the wake of the loss, Serena said she was “doing ok”, but said that it made her refocus on what was important, which was her daughter.  

“You realise the most important things that really matter,” she finished.  

Upset: Serena, who has won 23 Grand Slam titles, said she the incident makes you think about what's important, and that she's been refocusing time on her young daughter
