Serena Williams says therapy helped her get past U.S. Open controversy.
Serena Williams is opening up about her 2018 US Open final's loss to Naomi Osaka and what she learned from the emotional moment.
In a first-person essay for Harper's BAZAAR, Williams reflected on what she learned from standing up to the umpire, how she coped with the backlash she received and what messages she wants to pass on to her daughter. She described some of her thoughts post-final and how she struggled with understanding what occurred.
Williams said that she felt that she'd experienced gender discrimination and the ramifications for men speaking out against what they perceive are bad calls are different. She described that the fight she had with the umpire during the final,"exemplified how thousands of women in every area of the workforce are treated every day."
