The umpire only earned $633 your officiating the match, while Williams and Osaka made a combined $8 million. Seems pretty low for a match where so much is at stake.
Also, it seems that coaching during the match is permitted in women's tennis except in grand slam tournaments, whereas it is never permitted in the men's game. I wonder why that is.
