All right with referee Carlos Ramos, who in the scandal final between Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka had acted strictly and Williams after several escapades with a point and finally game deduction had punished.
“According to the news agency Reuters, the 47-year-old is quoted by the Portuguese Trubuna Expresso as “I am doing well under the circumstances”. “It’s an unfortunate situation, but a game of a la carte arbitration – it doesn’t exist.” However, it is said not to worry about him.
However, Ramos avoided running through New York on Sunday after the final in order to avoid “complicated situations”. On Friday, however, he will sit back in the referee’s chair in Zadar (Croatia) – the Davis Cup match between Croatia and the USA will take place here.
Ramos’ strict crackdown – for which he is known – had brought him mixed reactions and is still a big topic in the tennis world even four days after the women’s final. The reactions of the WTA and USTA, who defended Williams and wanted to investigate the sexism she denounced, had often caused her head to shake. However, the ITF clearly supported the highly respected impartial Portuguese.
