>Why didnt she just shut up and challenge the foot fault call?
I don't think players
can challenge a foot fault call,
only shot placement.
To: traumer
Well, I believe Yael T. Abouhalkah, who wrote that column, could have left the “reportedly” out of his phrase “reportedly yelled obscenities”.

It’s one thing to argue, whine about a call, but to take a ball, with your racquet, yelling at the lineswoman, saying you going to take the F’ing ball and shove it down her F’ing throat....now that’s a big difference; and it was her use of profanity—the obsenities she used—a string of them...that got her the point penalty (combined with her earlier smashing of a racquet). Game over man!

Yeah, it’s only where the ball lands. Which apparently was about to be up the line judge’s ^$#!

ESPN quotes Serena as saying:
“If I could, I would take this ... ball and shove it down your ... throat and kill you,”

Hmmm, could be right. But they can challenge service calls, and a foot fault is the outcome of a serve.

No. He just couldn’t have.
Not if he tried his very, very hardest.

My least favorite
date surprise is to be out
having dinner and
the woman I'm with
let's loose with the F-bomb and
a string of curses.

"I swear to God, I will take this racket and shove it up your f#@&ing a$$."Might hurt a little, but hardly a life-threatening prospect. What's the big deal?
To: thestob
I hope she gets sued for that.

I didn’t even know this was being played tonight I thought it was rained out. When I flipped over to CBS during football timeouts CBS was running commercials so I was surprised when I heard they played. Sounds like Serena went psycho to say the least. I’m sure the race warlords will chime in tomorrow as soon as they get the memo.

Will the Beloved Leader accuse the tournament director of racism, and then invite them to the White House for a beer?

Nothing bizarre. The rules of tennis got applied, and Serena quite properly lost.
I’m still waiting for the rules (constitution) of the USA to be applied, so the NY Slimes can write “In a bizarre ending to his Presidency, Barack Obama was arrested and removed from the White House ...”.

One thing that is really annoying about all this is, this stupid episode is going to distract somewhat from a really great win by the wonderful Kim Clijsters.
Make no mistake, Kim Clijsters WOULD have beaten Serena, foot call or no foot call. She outplayed Serena in every department of the game, and won the important points.
What a wonderful story eh? She's always been a a really well brought up, very well behaved girl .
To have taken what..2 years off to go get married, have a baby, come back, and now be on the threshold of winning the US Open..I mean what could be better than that?
Couldn't happen to a nicer girl.
