Some tennis umpires are considering a boycott of matches involving Serena Williams amid the fallout from a U.S. Open final match in which she called umpire Carlos Ramos a “thief” and a “liar,” according to The Times of London.
The tennis star’s on-the-court outbursts during a Sept. 8 match with Naomi Osaka of Japan were challenged by chair umpire Ramos, and led to a game penalty and several fines for tennis rules violations.
