On Sunday, the United States Tennis Association said the tournament referee Brian Earley had ruled that Williams would be fined $4,000 for a coaching violation, $3,000 for racket abuse, and $10,000 for verbal abuse.
The CEO of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Steve Simon released a statement in Williams' favour, stating that the match had raised an important question. "Yesterday also brought to the forefront the question of whether different standards are applied to men and women in the officiating of matches," wrote Simon.
He added that the WTA believes there should not be a "difference in the standards of tolerance provided to the emotions expressed by men vs. women" and said that the organisation is "committed to working with the sport to ensure that all players are treated the same. We do not believe that this was done last night."
On Twitter, the outrage at this further penalisation was palpable.
Twitter user @AgentTinsley provided evidence of instances where male players had behaved in a similar way and faced no repercussions.
