Serena Williams “went too far” with her controversial rant at an umpire during the US Open final, according to Roger Federer. “I feel like Serena should have walked away,” Federer told Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper. Following the code violation, Williams told Ramos she would “never cheat to win and would rather lose”. Williams received another code violation for smashing her racquet, leading to Ramos docking her a point. Meanwhile, at the US Open, France’s Alize Cornet received a code violation for changing her shirt on court.
