Peter, Carlos Ramos got paid $633 for the match between Williams and Osaka...the two sets, including all the preparatives he did on that day, before and after the match, roughly a 12-hour day from my readings.
$633 total for that full day.
So yes, we are both on the exact same page.
* I agree with you on Serena Williams' overall attitude; deplorable, mediocre @ best. She was the one @ fault, 100%, without a single shadow of a doubt.
She should just have played "her" game after a simple coaching warning.
She couldn't take it...big big big mistake from her part, and nobody else.
The cartoon caricature describes well in good humor her overall reaction, many people's overall impression, I believe. We see what we see, if we see good it's good, if we see bad we have the wrong perception, nothing less nothing more. Life cannot be more simple than that, anything else is just cheap whiskey.

* The tips are secret, it's my personal suggestion after learning how much money Carlos Ramos made for umpiring the match on that day. It's me only, no one else.
And Serena Williams should apologize to Carlos, big time. She made a total imbecile of herself, absolutely disgraceful. Can she reach deep in her heart and soul? Only Serena Williams knows and can do that on her own, nobody can coach her on that stuff but her. It's inside people when they decide to reach for it. Actions speak louder than words. Williams' actions and words were despicable, hurtful to Carlos, to Naomi, to all decent human beings with real solid strong truthful life's values.
Humanity first, money and glory and power always behind...last.
Naomi Osaka => true human champion. ...A beautiful human being with true compassion and humility, real wisdom.
