Serena Williams was fined a total of $ 17,000 for three code violations during her loss to Naomi Osaka in the U.S. Open final. On Sunday, a day after the match, the tournament referee’s office docked Williams $ 10,000 for “verbal abuse” of chair umpire Carlos Ramos, $ 4,000 for being warned for coaching, and $ 3,000 for breaking her racket. In the second set’s second game, Ramos warned Williams for getting coaching, which is against the rules in Grand Slam matches.
