Serena Williams shuns US Open final talk after first-round win at Australian Open wea

[admin]

Serena Williams won her first competitive match since the US Open final – that infamous night in New York when she suffered three code violations – and then made it clear that any discussion of the biggest tennis story of 2018 was completely off the table. In the immediate aftermath of Williams's extraordinary loss to Naomi Osaka, she insisted that she saw her row with chair umpire Carlos Ramos in gender terms. Coming less than a year after the launch of the Me Too movement, Williams's comments sparked a huge, ongoing debate about sexism in tennis.
