‘Racist’ Cartoon on Serena Williams Reappears on Herald Sun

J.K. Rowling and the Twitterverse slam cartoonist for discriminatory cartoon on Serena Williams.

Serena Williams and chair umpire - Carlos Ramos - were involved in a heated verbal exchange during the 2018 US Open Final. Williams was penalised for her loud on-court ourburst and points were deducted from her score. One of the charges Serena faced was of on-court coaching, which is banned in the US Open. Williams was fined $17,000 for three code violations.

Leading Australian cartoonist Mark Knight has come under heavy criticism for his portrayal of the 2018 US Open finalist - Serena Williams. He poked fun at the tennis star for losing her temper in the final.
