In a Bizarre Ending, Clijsters Beats Williams
By John Martin
With Kim Clijsters leading, 6-5, in the second set, and Serena Williams down by 15-30, Williams goes up the T but misses, then foot faults. she scolds the lineswoman, but shes down to match point. Brian Earley, the tournament manager, appears. An argument ensues. Williams is given a warning, which costs her a point. The match is over. Williams is heard to say: I didnt say I would kill you. An argument on match point. Suddenly, Williams walks to the other side of the net and shakes Clijsterss hand. Its over. Has she defaulted? The lineswoman retreats to the exit. No announcement can be heard. Williams walks out under a storm of boos.
Obama going to find some cameras and say the linejudge acted stupidly ( is racist) ?
HOOAH!!!!!

BTW, Regarding Serena William’s foot fault ( a seldom called violation ). Here are the rules for those interested :
The server must stand behind the baseline, between the centre mark and the sideline.
A ‘foot fault’ is called if any of the following happens before the ball is struck:
# The feet touch the ground inside the baseline
# The feet touch the wrong side of the centre mark OR
# The feet touch the wrong side of the imaginary extension of the sideline.
A foot fault is the same as a fault on a serve so the player is given the chance of a second serve.
According to the BBC, IT WAS A FOOT FAULT.

I´ve seen some posters questioning the line judges call on Serena’s footfault. But is was very clear that it was in the replay. She stepped firmly on the line and part of the foot was inside the baseline before hitting the ball
This was her second of the match.
It was really unfortunate, she still had a chance to turn the match (though her outburst showed that she had lost it emotionally anyway).
Kim was the better player until that point though and was growing in confidence with every point. And it was a great match to watch ... except for the sorry ending.
