NEW YORK - A year after Serena Williams infamously clashed with an umpire during her U.S. Open final loss over being assessed multiple violations that confused some viewers, tournament organizers have unveiled changes to make such rulings clearer to fans.
Chair umpire Carlos Ramos, in line with the Grand Slam rule book, warned Williams for a coaching violation during last year’s showpiece with Japan’s Naomi Osaka before deducting a point and later a game for her behavior, which included a smashed racket and calling him a “liar” and thief.” In another bid to avoid confusion with how rules are applied the USTA said match officials will be more widely available to broadcasters while during the semi-finals and final an official will be on Twitter throughout the match explaining the rules.
