That's not a genuine question, obviously, from its very specific terms.

I read that men players have verbally abused and sworn at umpires, but unlikely they used exactly the same words as Venus used. I also read that no male player has been docked a game. Frankly, I'm not interested in tennis purely because of this sort of s**t, so don't know if any of that is true
