It didn&#8217;t help when chair umpire Carlos Ramos assessed Williams a violation during the second set. Her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, flashed her a thumbs-up gesture, and Ramos ruled that she received illegal coaching from her player&#8217;s box.<\/p>\n<p>Williams was visibly upset about it afterward, approaching Ramos and saying the following:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t cheat to win,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I\u2019d rather lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;I don&#39;t cheat to win.
