Serena Williams says to a lineswoman in 2009, "I swear to God I'll fucking take the ball and shove it down your fucking throat." = $10,000 fine
Fabio Fognini calls a female umpire a "whore" and "cocksucker" in 2017 = $96,000 fine ($48,000 suspended if he remains on good behavior into 2019) and two Grand Slam suspensions (again, suspended if he remains on good behavior into 2019)
Yeah, Serena's clearly a victim of sexism.
Meanwhile, beyond the sporting world, courts and lawyers are working in solidarity with misogynistic tennis umpires to oppress women...
So, there is a logic to throwing "I'm a mother" into an argument you are losing.
