my heart goes out to Ramos and Osaka. Serena, I still respect you as a tennis player. Please speak for women in a way that is right, when it is right.

[21:43, 9/15/2018] Hannah: i was like crying
[21:43, 9/15/2018] Hannah: 1) so proud to see osaka win
[21:43, 9/15/2018] Hannah: 2) so moving to see serena push
[21:44, 9/15/2018] Hannah: 3) so disappointing to hear the way serena talked to the chair umpire (for the record I really respect this umpire and serena but this is not how tennis is meant to be)
[21:45, 9/15/2018] Hannah: 4) also disappointing that the tournament umpire (the "officials" who ran onto court when she disagreed with the chair umpire docking her a game point) did not overrule the chair umpires call. I think the chair umpire was right to give serena a warning like that for the way she was speaking to him. But given the stakes in the match, it would have be wiser for the officials to overrule it.
[21:46, 9/15/2018] Hannah: 5) shocked she was docked a game point at 4-3 in the second set so crazy
[21:49, 9/15/2018] Hannah: 6) Disappointed that she tried to spin this into a women's rights thing

[21:53, 9/15/2018] Hannah: this is what makes me proud of my sport :)
