Williams’ fines break down to $10,000 for verbal abuse of chair umpire Carlos Ramos, $4,000 for being warned for coaching, and $3,000 for breaking her racquet. Williams was given the code violation for coaching early in the second set of the match, which Osaka won 6-2, 6-4. Williams told the umpire, “I don’t cheat to win. I’d rather lose. Williams said she did not see him offer coaching help from the players’ box, in the stands.
