Well she got a warning about getting coaching. Then lied saying she didn't get coaching

Evening though her coach said he gave her coaching in his press conference

Then she got a code violation for smashing her racket, and then got a game taken off her after she abused the umpire further and wouldn't let it drop.

And all that makes it a sexism row apparently

Poor Osaka, it was her moment, she even apologised to the crowd. Imagine being a grand slam winner and being made to feel like you don't deserve it?
