Serena Williams says there is a double standard when it comes to race and gender in tennis. She says she would be in jail if she acted like Alexander Zverev. The German star hit his racket on the chair of the Mexican Open official. There is a double standard in the world of tennis according to Serena Williams. In an interview with Christiane Amanpour on Friday, the woman who won 23 Grand Slams reflected on the response to Alexander Zverev. The top-ranked German star lashed out at an umpire, smashing the official's chair with his racket before being kicked out of the tournament. Williams said that he would probably be in jail if he did that. Throughout her illustrious professional tennis career, Williams has faced harsher punishment for less serious offenses. She was fined $17,000 for smashing her racket and speaking out against an umpire during the US Open final against Naomi Osaka. Williams technically broke the rules, but tennis fans and experts agree that three violations and a $17,000 fine were excessive. Williams punishment was not comparable to those given to white male players who have had similar or worse behavior on the court. The most successful Black woman in tennis history has double standards in her sport. You can see that when you watch other things on the tour.
