I feel badly for her. She did take full responsibility for her outburst and made no excuses. She shook her opponent’s hand. I do not know enough about tennis but refs make bad calls in any sport.

The Williams sisters are still amazing athletes and role models. Her behavior on the court on this occasion was a bad moment. There will be other matches. Time to move on.

When was it she took full responsibility? Was that today?

"She did take full responsibility for her outburst and made no excuses."

I'm left wondering if you saw the media availability after the match wherein she took almost no responsibility, said all of the other players so it, and even went so far as to lie and say that she could not remember at all what she actually said to the line judge.

"The Williams sisters are still amazing athletes and role models."

Venus very well may be, but Serena's display is nothing for a young woman to set her sights on.
