конечно! И вот только спортсмены почему-то не соглашаются с такой оценкой действий арбитраVims писал(а):The US Open final umpire whom Serena Williams called "a thief" has been defended by tennis' governing body.
Williams, beaten in straight sets by Naomi Osaka, was docked a game for verbal abuse, having already had a point penalty for smashing her racquet and a code violation for coaching.
She later said it was "sexist" to have been penalised a game.
The International Tennis Federation said Carlos Ramos acted "at all times with professionalism and integrity".

But it was made exponentially more difficult by umpire Carlos Ramos. Williams may well have lost the match to Osaka, but taking away a game at a critical point in Osaka's 6-2, 6-4 victory was a needless intrusion on the match. Plenty of people pointed out that male stars such as Roger Federer and Jimmy Connors, to name two, have not been penalized for worse comments than Serena demanding an apology and calling Ramos a thief.
Djokovic drew the line at Ramos' involvement, though. The last thing any athlete wants or any sport needs is for an official to intrude on the outcome, particularly when a championship is on the line.
"I have my personal opinion that maybe the chair umpire should not have pushed Serena to the limit, especially in a Grand Slam final," he said. "Just maybe changed - not maybe, but he did change the course of the match. It was, in my opinion, maybe unnecessary. We all go through our emotions, especially when you're fighting for a Grand Slam trophy.
