Serena Williams had an extraordinary on-court meltdown lost the US Open final against Naomi Osaka, after she was penalised for illegal coaching from the sidelines by Patrick Mouratoglou. Williams was furious when she was given a coaching violation early in the second set after a hand gesture from her coach Patrick Mouratoglou. Serena Williams: "There's a lot of men out here that have said a lot of things and because they're a man, that doesn't happen to them." Remarkably, Mouratoglou admitted he was coaching Williams from the sidelines, as he made these comments to ESPN.
