Serena Williams says she doesn\u2019t \u201creally remember\u201d how the US Open final controversy unfolded which saw her get into a verbal confrontation with chair umpire Carlos Ramos. During the defeat to Naomi Osaka in straight sets. Serena accused long-time umpire Ramos of discrimination and branded him \u201ca liar,\u201d \u201ca thief\u201d and \u201csexist,\u201d after he gave her a code violation for receiving coaching.
\nAs she featured on the cover of the GQ magazine as the \u2018Woman of the Year\u2019, the 37-year-old stated she doesn\u2019t exactly remember how things panned out during the altercation. \u201cI don\u2019t really remember how it went, to be honest,\u201d Williams said. \u201cI\u2019ve been purposely not thinking about it. I don\u2019t watch TV at all. I try to keep myself in a bubble as much as I can. I just don\u2019t want to be involved in other people\u2019s opinions. Let them live how they want to feel.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
