There is a huge double standard for women when it comes to how bad behavior is punished — and not just in tennis. But in her protests against an umpire during the United States Open final on Saturday, she also got part of it wrong. To recap: The trouble began when early in the second set, Ms. Williams was given a warning for coaching. And it is actually irrelevant whether the player saw or heard whatever instructions were given; either way, it is still an infraction. Ms. Williams was not happy about this warning and let the umpire, Carlos Ramos, know it.
