I see a typical "caricature" drawing representative of a grown woman throwing a temper tantrum like a three-year-old. This drawing is accurate IMO.
A caricature is a rendered image showing the features of its subject in a simplified or exaggerated way through sketching, pencil strokes, or through other artistic drawings.
In literature, a caricature is a description of a person using exaggeration of some characteristics and oversimplification of others.[1]
Caricatures can be insulting or complimentary and can serve a political purpose or be drawn solely for entertainment. Caricatures of politicians are commonly used in editorial cartoons, while caricatures of movie stars are often found in entertainment magazines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caricature

Caricatures are generally unflattering. She did have a temper tantrum. Several tennis players have chimed in about 'this incident' including John McEnroe, the king of tantrums, along with Martina Navratilova, Chris Everett and several other professional players. There is a WHOLE lot more to this than just a temper tantrum. Were any of you watching the match? I was and I'm torn about both the decision and the cartoon.

.... I did not know if that was supposed to indicate racist intent
....or, the umpire's question to her opponent

....somehow, I missed the racism in the cartoon
....the only thing they or McEnroe could not individually control was their color
....why would something that nobody can control be a source of racism as it is used today to hurt others ; using color is unfair to all everywhere
All of her features are exagerated in a most unflattering way. I’m not that familiar with ms Williams so the drawing makes a negative impression on me. I see a woman throwing a fit and the woman apparently lost as she’s jumping on her racket. It could be considered racist if the viewer is over sensitive. My guess is Williams is black, has prominent lips and overweight though I doubt the latter as she must be an athlete.....

I don't see how it's racist, but I don't know why they had to make her look so fat.

It's not racist, it's just that she looks rather manly. Crocodile Dundee might have been confused. "Manly, yes, but I like it too." Serena, not the soap. (LOL)! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtdEDaa3aW0

No. I do not think it was racist. But the words about her being upset because she lost seems ridiculous. I think she was upset because of differential treatment. Wanting to penalize her for something that they don't penalize men for. But often that is the name of the game.
