NEW YORK - Until last year’s U.S. Open, few tennis fans could identify a tournament official by name. That changed during the 2018 women’s final when chair umpire Carlos Ramos shot to prominence after a seismic clash with Serena Williams.
This much is undisputed: Ramos issued three code-of-conduct violations against the American, starting with a warning for receiving coaching from her mentor Patrick Mouratoglou in the stands.The third, a game penalty, was the culmination of an extended and intense argument in which Williams called Ramos a “liar” and a “thief”. She was later fined $17,000.
“Ramos took what began as a minor infraction and turned it into one of the nastiest and most emotional controversies in the history of tennis, all because he couldn’t take a woman speaking sharply to him,” she wrote. Before becoming an umpire, Ramos was a player but not one whose abilities could indulge his interests.
The multilingual 48-year-old now lives in France with his wife and family and has continued umpiring, including at the Grand Slams as well as Davis Cup and Fed Cup matches.
