Coco Vandeweghe says official too ‘scared’ to reprimand Maria Sharapova

Maria Sharapova was accused of being a bad sport after she beat American Coco Vandeweghe in the Wimbledon quarter-finals.

Russian Sharapova sealed her 20th grand slam semi-final appearance with a hard-fought 6-3 6-7 (3/7) 6-2 victory on Centre Court, and will next face Serena Williams, a player she has not defeated since 2004.

After coming off court against Sharapova, Vandeweghe claimed her opponent had tried to put her off while she served.
