After her obscene remark to the line judge in her semi-final match in which she supposedly threatened to take a tennis ball and shove it down her throat, the top womens tennis player in the world Serena Williams was charged with a fine and a loss in the match. In a bizarre end to the match, Serena Williams was first charged with a foot fault to put the game at double match point for Kim Clijsters. Clearly upset with the call, Serena Williams then proceeded to steadily walk toward the line judge and threaten her with a pointed finger and all. The judge then walked over the the umpires chair, told them what happened, and Serena was given a point penalty which cost her the match. (It cost her the point because she had already been given a warning for breaking a racquet in the first) This story really covers up wat we should be talking about with that match in that Clijsters outdueled the top seed in women’s tennis. Kim had her game going all night and was the real reason that she defeated Serena Williams in that match.
