Serena Williams walked toward the line judge, screaming, cursing and shaking a ball in the official’s direction, threatening to “shove it down” her throat.
On match point in the U.S. Open semifinals Saturday night, defending champion Williams was penalized a point for unsportsmanlike conduct — a bizarre, ugly finish that gave a 6-4, 7-5 upset victory to unseeded, unranked Kim Clijsters.
My, that level of rage is so unfeminine. Perhaps we should require her to do a gender test.
proof spots men/ladies are primitives
That’s one nappy head hoe right there! (sic)
The soft racism of low expectations. I.e., let’s excuse her foot fault; let’s give her a pass on the profanity-laced threats against the judge. Please.
Has anyone seen an along the line video or picture of the infraction? From the TV angle I saw, it would have had to be her heel going over on her toss but even that would have been only by the smallest margins.
I just saw her mouth what she said and sure enough, she said it.
She thinks she can get away with anything because she’s white.
Judge needed to “swallow her whistle” at that point of the match.
Serena’s reaction is certainly too strong, but the best part is when that judge sure scurried away when she felt some heat. That’s funny. scurry scurry. LOL

maybe that’s why you americans have that gay protection-wear and play ‘football’ with your hands.
btw: Kim Clijsters is better anyway!
KOM OP KIMMIE!!!
I’m definitely waiting to see what the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have to say about all this.
They’ll set us straight!
What I really think is cool of Serena is that she walked over to Kim for the handshake!
Serena needs lessons from the ‘ol pro.
Yup, she could… Look at her!
I wouldn’t play around with her, she’d kick my ass.
I think the line judge should have kicked Serena in the nuts.
#33, you win. ROFL
shes gonna be the dennis rodman of tennis world.
Sometimes when we are having a really bad day we make it a lot worse.
You can take the girl out of the ghetto…
funny how threats in one sport is enough to get media attention but they are seen as common place and unremarkable in other sports. If a football or basketball player had said the same thing is wouldn’t be big news at all.
And then Roger Federer pulled off this amazing shot.
Everyone knows that do to slavery 150+ years ago that it is racist to expect a person of color to play by the rules and conduct them self in a civil manner. I am sure the line judge will have a big chuckle at poor Serena’s expense at her next Klan rally. When will this racism end in America!
