Even more controversy has followed Serena Williams‘ heated argument with the referee during her US Open final loss to Naomi Osaka.

Mark Knight, a cartoonist with Australian paper The Herald Sun, has gone viral for a cartoon of the 23-time Grand Slam winner which has been described as racist.

The cartoon features a big-lipped scatter-haired Serena stomping on her racket with Osaka curiously blond.

Several Twitter users, including celebrities J.K. Rowling and Kathy Griffin have condemned the cartoonist for his depiction of the tennis stars.

Check out some of the tweets:
