Tennis legend Martina Navratilova on Serena Williams' sexism complaints: 'It w
asn't the right time'小威抱怨性別歧視 娜拉提諾娃：時間點不對

Serena Williams triggered a massive wave of discourse after her outburst towar
d a chair umpire during the U.S. Open final led to a game penalty and complain
ts of sexism from the tennis legend.小威在美網決賽的失序引發軒然大波，控訴受到
性別歧視。

Williams incurred three different violations over the course of a bizarre seco
nd set: first for on-court coaching, then smashing her racket in frustration a
nd finally for verbal abuse toward chair umpire Carlos Ramos. That last violat
ion incurred a game penalty for Williams, an extraordinarily rare action for R
amos to take in a Grand Slam final.小威因為各種失序行為遭到判罰。

Over the course of the fiasco, Williams demanded an apology from the umpire fo
r accusing her of cheating, called him a thief for stealing a point from her,
argued with officials and reached the point of tears. She was graceful during
an awkward trophy ceremony for her opponent, Naomi Osaka, but later said she w
ould not have received the penalty if she was a woman and claimed she was figh
ting for women’s equality.小威淚灑球場，聲稱自己從不作弊，要求「惡賊」主審向
她道歉，還她清白。賽後小威稱自己因身為女性而受罰，誓言將捍衛女權到底。

As one can imagine, Williams has been both widely praised and criticized throu
ghout the sports world, but one voice that speaks loudest is that of 18-time G
rand Slam winner Martina Navratilova.各界聲援和批評不斷，而曾奪18座大滿貫冠軍
的網壇傳奇娜拉提諾娃亦對此發表看法。

Navratilova spoke to the New York Times, praising Williams for her message of
inequality but criticizing the context in which she made her argument.娜拉提
諾娃在與紐約時報的談話中，盛讚小威傳遞性別平等的訊息，但批評小威舉措失序。

“Had I behaved like that on a tennis court, I would have expected to get ever
ything that happened to Serena,” said Martina Navratilova, who won 18 Grand S
lam singles titles and a record nine Wimbledon titles, and has been a longtime
advocate for equality in the sport. “ It should’ve ended right there with t
he point warning, but Serena just couldn’t let it go.”

She added, “She completely had the right message about women’s inequality, b
ut it wasn’t the right time to bring it up.”
娜拉提諾娃，這位長期致力於網壇性別平等的女權鬥士表示：「若換成是我在球場上做出
這些舉動，我能預料到會受到和小威一樣的判罰。」、「罰分合情合理，只是小威當下心
理無法釋懷」、「小威所指的女權議題完全正確，但不是在正確的時間點上提出」


Another all-time tennis great to address the situation was Billie Jean King, w
ho was much more supportive of Williams and agreed that women faced a double s
tandard in tennis.另1位網壇至尊金恩夫人力挺小威，當今網壇女性仍面臨雙重標準的
對待。

Steve Simon, the CEO of the Women’s Tennis Association, also backed Williams.
In a statement released Sunday, Simon said that the WTA did not believe that
Williams had received the same standard men received during her match.
女網協會的執行長賽門週日也公開支持小威，指稱其遭受性別不公的判罰。
