Sounds like an Obama supporter...one of the “Untouchables.”
She acted very graciously towards her oponent.
It was a crappy time to call a foot fault, but she apparently did. Will be interesting if they have exactly what she said audible on tape. Regardless, it did look pretty threatening.
Sounds like Ms. Williams is in the wrong sport.
This kind of intimidation goes over a lot better in professsional wrestling than it does in tennis.
There is no comparison... I don’t think John Mac or Jimmy Connors ever threatened to stick the racket where the sun don’t shine or kill someone... I really fear the future... sigh.
Wait ..... soon we willhear that it was taken out of context.
UNREAL.
Obama also clearly wasn't calling the Harvard police stupid when he called them stupid.
Final result: The judge was CLEEAAARRLY a racist.
Classless and busted.
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.
So in Serena’s world telling a line judge that you are going to shove the tennis ball down her throat, resulting in loss of breathing, isn’t threatening? Go sew some clothes, will ya, and shaddap.
