Margaret Court slams Serena over US Open meltdown
玛格丽特．考特痛批小威胡闹
Aussie tennis great Margaret Court has offered little sympathy to Serena
Williams after her controversial blow-up in the US Open final.
澳洲网坛传奇玛格丽特．考特对小威在美网决赛的遭遇并不同情。
Serena’s behaviour in Sunday’s final divided the tennis world after she
called the chair umpire a “liar” and a “thief” and said he treated her
differently than male players during her loss to Naomi Osaka.
小威在决赛中痛斥主审是“骗子”、是“贼”，更控诉执法对女性较男性严厉。
Williams, who was seeking a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam singles title on
Saturday, was handed a warning for a coaching violation before being deducted
a point for smashing her racquet.
She then had a heated argument with chair umpire Carlos Ramos, which cost her
a game.
小威寻求追平玛格丽特．考特的24座大满贯纪录，却因教练场边指导、砸烂球拍、辱骂主
审等失控举动，接连遭到罚分、罚局。
The six-times US Open champion, who has since been fined $17,000 (US) by the
United States Tennis Association for the violations, vigorously disputed each
during the match.
这位6届美网冠军赛后更因此遭到USTA开罚，罚金为1万7千美元。
In the wake of Osaka’s first Grand Slam triumph, there were messages of
support for Williams as well as those condemning her behaviour and agreeing
with the umpire’s calls.
各界声援及谴责小威的讯息接踵而至。
Tennis great Billy Jean King wrote on Twitter: “When a woman is emotional,
she’s “hysterical” and she’s penalized for it. When a man does the same,
he’s “outspoken” and there are no repercussions. Thank you,
@serenawilliams, for calling out this double standard. More voices are needed
to do the same.”
网坛至尊金恩夫人力挺小威，主张女性情绪化并非歇斯底里，跟男性一样是真性情，执法
不该因性别差异而双重标准，更呼吁性别平等的落实。
Yet Court, whose tally of Grand Slam singles titles is being chased by
Williams, had little sympathy for the 36-year-old American former World No.1
然而这位大满贯纪录保持人，玛格丽特．考特对此却不领情。
“We always had to go by the rules,” Court, who dominated tennis during the
1960s and early 1970s, said according to a report in The Australian.
考特：“一切还是必须按照规则走。”
“It’s sad for the sport when a player tries to become bigger than the rules.
考特：“很遗憾的，网坛竟然有球员意图凌驾于规则之上。”
“Because the young player outplayed her in the first set, I think pressure
got her more than anything.”
考特：“她在场上情绪失控，是因为这位年轻球员在第一盘的表现远胜过她，造成她巨大
的压力，而无关乎任何事。”
Tennis great John McEnroe, one of the game’s most tempestuous characters in
his playing days, said the sport must find a way to allow players to express
feelings and inject their personality into the game while adhering to certain
rules.
美国网坛传奇、并以火爆性格著称的马克安诺则对小威送暖，表示这项运动必须找到让球
员能合法地尽情展露情绪、表现个性的方法。
According to McEnroe, Ramos should not have given Williams a violation for
breaking her racquet and should have warned her early on about what would
happen if she did not move on.
马克安诺批评主审不该仅因小威砸拍就祭出警告，而且在这之前，主审有义务告知小威，
若她再被警告会导致的后果。
“I’ve said far worse,” McEnroe, a seven-times Grand Slam singles winner,
said on ESPN. “She’s right about the guys being held to a different
standard, there’s no question.”
马克安诺肯认执法确实因性别而不公。
“小威说的完全正确，裁判对男生确实执法较松，这毫无疑问。”
Yet Richard Ings, a former professional chair umpire who also used to be the
ATP Tour Executive Vice-President, Rules and Competition, felt it was
Williams who needed to apologise. 前主审英斯称应该对此事道歉的是小威。
Ings once issued a warning, point penalty and a game penalty against McEnroe
at the 1987 U.S. Open for obscenities directed at the umpire.
英斯担任主审时，曾在1987年的美网因马克安诺秽言侮辱，而祭出警告、罚分、罚局。
“We should not let her record, as glowing as it is, overshadow the fact that
on this day, in this match Williams was wrong,” Ings wrote in The Sydney
Morning Herald.
我们不能因为小威过去的成就、她的光芒，就掩盖了事实。
这场比赛，小威大错特错。
“The decisions made by Ramos had nothing to do with sexism or racism. They
had everything to do with observing clear breaches of the grand slam code of
conduct and then having the courage to call them without fear or favour.”
这次主审的执法根本无关性别、种族，只是主审能无所畏惧的，无差别性的按照大满贯的
规则公平执法而已。
