Wow. What a way to end a tennis match.
Are you disrespecting me?

She continued yelling at the line judge, and went back over, shaking her racket in the official's direction. Asked in her postmatch news conference what she said to the line judge, Williams wouldn't say, replying, "What did I say? You didn't hear?" "I've never been in a fight in my whole life, so I don't know why she would have felt threatened," Williams said with a smile. The line judge went over to the chair umpire, and tournament referee Brian Earley joined in the conversation. With the crowd booing -- making part of the dialogue inaudible -- Williams then went over and said to the line judge: "Sorry, but there are a lot of people who've said way worse." Then the line judge said something to the chair umpire, and Williams responded, "I didn't say I would kill you. Are you serious? I didn't say that." The line judge replied by shaking her head and saying, "Yes." Williams already had been give a code violation warning when she broke her racket after losing the first set. So the chair umpire now awarded a penalty point to Clijsters, ending the match.

"I used to have a real temper, and I've gotten a lot better," Williams said later. "So I know you don't believe me, but I used to be worse. Yes, yes, indeed."
Glad we didn't see her on one of her "bad days."

Maybe she should be tested to see if there are Hermaphroditic qualities in her personality?

she did foot fault, she did drop some "F"-bombs.
She lost 6 weeks ago cause she didn't train hard enough and didn't have the foot speed to run down Clijster's shots or take over points off her serve.
Tennis is the "fairest" of sports. You have to win by 2 points and two game unless you go to a tie-breaker. But you still have to win by 2 points even then.
There is no "running out the clock", no lucky one shot or knock out punch.
Serena knew she was getting owned by Kim and just took the easy way out. It's her way of saving her ego. It's almost as bad as Marcelo Rios tanking matches. In fact it's worse cause she was the champion and I believe she had a b#tch fit cause she wasn't #1 in the world ranking and Kim Clijsters wasn't just bowing down and losing like she'd done 7 out of the last 8 times they played.
Just a sad pathetic moment in Women's Tennis and in American Tennis. pathetic.

Looks like Serena has been infected with that Michelle Obama spirit.

The eyes, its the eyes. I got no problem with Michelle except her politics and her f*****g agathokakological eyes !! Every picture it’s like that.
To: SkyPilot
The judge is quite obviously a racist. I mean really, what other explanation is there these days when things don’t go right for the Obamatons?
To: TexasCajun
If she threatened death on the official, and there is proof via audio tape, the ITF, USTA, or WITA could suspend her or ban her from future matches and tournaments.
I suspect William's camp is going to contemplate using the race card to get her out of the mess she put herself into.
