Serena Williams was fined $10,000 for her behavior in Saturday nights US Open Tennis Semi-Final, she was called for a foot-fault??….and it cost her the match…..Two points from losing in the second set, Williams faulted at 5-6, 15-30. On her second serve , the line judge called a foot fault, making it 15-40 and giving Clijsters a match point. Williams began yelling at the line judge and a penalty point was awarded to Clijsters; because it happened to come on match point, it ended the match!!??
“Last night, everyone could truly see the passion I have for my job. Now that I have had time to gain my composure, I can see that while I don’t agree with the unfair line call, in the heat of battle I let my passion and emotion get the better of me and as a result handled the situation poorly,”
