Well, so far, it looks like the media is going to let her get by with this. Am watching Serena’s press conference and the media is trying to make excuses for her.
Serena is making it sound like she didn’t misbehave.
More players need some Jack Dempsey sportmanship and ask no quarter and make no excuses.
It is silly to berate a line judge when one can ask for a replay.
Williams was playing well and Clijsters was playing better. How many moms in the top 50??...usually one or none. Players take note: don’t let your best fertile years go by. The Mom was cool, polite, and powerful.
I’d compare Serena’s reaction to Joe Wilson’s outburst the other night, “Rude, but right” as one columnist put it. The y both breached decorum, but they both had darn, a good reason for doing it.
The foot fault call was one of the worst calls in the history of sports. Foot faults are almost never called, and the replay showed it was not even close to a foot fault. If you are going to make that call, in that spot, you’d better be 100% sure.
Do any other sports allow officials who wear glasses?

Gee, I can’t for the life of me figure why self-hating white liberals in the media would be making excuses for the abominable, classless, threatening behavior of Williams.
The whiny little punk John McEnroe must be proud. outlandishbehavior of
What the hell do you want the media to do? Call for her execution? Insist upon her retiring from tennis? Jail her for life?
She lost the match because of her stupidity, what’s your problem?
