Novak Djokovic and the WTA shared their opinions on what transpired between Serena Williams and chair umpire Carlos Ramos during Saturday's U.S. Open women's final.
Djokovic was asked about the controversial decisions to dock Williams a point and then a full game due to conduct violations after he had just won the U.S. Open men's final to capture his 14th Grand Slam title. He said it was "a very awkward situation" for everyone involved, including the 2018 U.S. Open champion Naomi Osaka. Djokovic also mentioned that people should "empathize" with Ramos before explaining that he didn't agree with the chair umpire's approach during the match.
