I have a daughter and I stand for what’s right for her. I’ve never cheated and you owe me an apology.” She yelled at the umpire.


Williams called out sexism as men would get away with anything in sports but women will be targeted for the same thing. “It has happened to me too many time, this is not fair... you know how many other men do things that are much worse than that. This is not fair. There are a lot of men out here that have said a lot of things because they’re men, that doesn’t happen to them. This is unbelievable.” She told Ramos.
