Serena Williams outburst during the recent US Open will stay in the history books.
The American legend was penalized of an entire game at the end of her clash against Naomi Osaka and that kickstarted a huge debate about things that are not even related to tennis (eg. sexism).

It was this dumb rule. EVERT
During a recent interview, another American legend, Chris Evert, was extremely vocal in defending Serena against what she considers as a dumb rule: coaching.
Chris firmly believes that “The real fault was the rule,” and the rule needs to be changed because “Everybody coaches on the side. Every coach coaches. … So, change that rule.”
.@ChrissieEvert says “everybody coaches” and @serenawilliams got a “raw deal,” but we should “applaud @Naomi_Osaka_ for being the @usopen champion.” #SportsLegendsDinner pic.twitter.com/EdWUXSKiAx
