MELBOURNE: World number one tennis champ Serena Williams could be stripped of her right to play in the Australian Open in 2010 for baring all for the sports magazine ESPN and for her extraordinary outburst in the US Open semi-finals.
Williams is under an International Tennis Federation investigation and faces a ban of up to two grand slams under the sport's code of conduct, the Daily Telegraph reports.
Enraged by a foot fault call, Williams threatened the baseline judge with: "You don't know me. You better be right. I swear to God I'm going to take this ball and shove it down your throat."
The lineswoman is believed to have alleged Williams threatened to kill her.
Williams was fined the maximum of $11,300 by on-site authorities after twice breaching code of conduct regulations in a clash with eventual champion Kim Clijsters, of Belgium.
The ITF have the power to strip Williams of more than $500,000 in prize money and impose a ban.
The threat to Williams comes as she bared all and posed nude for the front cover of ESPN Magazine.
If Williams's tirade is deemed a "major offence" under the sport's regulations, she could be the first player since American Jeff Tarango to be banned from a grand slam in 15 years.
Tarango stormed off court at Wimbledon in 1995 after disagreeing with a line call during a third-round match with German Alexander Mronz. The American accused French umpire Bruno Rebeuh of being corrupt. Tarango was barred from two grand slams, including Wimbledon the next year.
It is understood Williams will be given the chance to defend herself in person, but some believe her initial lack of remorse could count against her. If suspended, she could appeal to an independent tribunal.
Yet she posed nude - most women I know would not do that if they had issues about their arms or legs or butt
( I didn't defend her. I said that you sound like children, and you do).

(more childishness....how old are you?)
The point which clearly escapes you is that you sound particularly small when you attack anybody not for their actions or words but simply for how the Good Lord made them.
Have a nice day.
And if she really was at all self-conscious about some parts, she could buy a larger size for the lower half. That’s waaay too much flesh hanging out.
Actually, my husband is white, intelligent and drinks in moderation only...not really a funny joke, he was a really nice person...you probably don’t have a wife or girlfriend...oh a joke, okay!!
Whatever
You did defend Serena and then proceeded to scold us. You’re not our mother.
Anyway, your defense of someone you don’t know, who took too many steroids and looks gross is well, weird.
And you are weird, according to a few other posters.
Seriously? Is it just Serena and you are in love with her?
I haven’t seen you as the great defender of Michelle Obama.
Heck people have at Kirstie Alley this week for being “Kirstie Alley Fat”.
The only thing small is your shrine to Serena and your emotional investment in her.
That's funny, I think she looks great in that pic. To each his own, I guess.
LA waist and an Oakland booty.
I just can’t get over your post. You clearly lack the intelligence of sheep dip and the best part?
You are a typical hypocrite. Not only to do call out gays on your home in just the first page of your history you marginalize them.
Why? In today’s society do you know how small that makes you look?
You would pick on people because of how they were born?
I think you are just some class A jerk and a low life bully.
You do worship Serena or you wouldn’t have posted your drivel.
Welcome to earth but leave the throwing rocks at glass houses to those without blemish.
So you attack others for the way they look? Sorry I don’t follow your tracks here so I missed that. But I’m not surprised. And, you’re right, I’m not your mother. If I were you would have learned to stop this nonsense by second grade, as nearly all of us did.
And you attack others for how they were born. Being a Homophobic jerk off doesn’t give you imprimatur to lecture others.
And again, I say you worship Serena. You have never gone off anyone about Michelle Obama.
For some reason you have single me out for your sycophantic rant. I am most definitely the wrong person for that and have nothing better to do than bitch slap some whiner.
And here we are two, presumably grown men, going at each other because I insulted your idol.
You’re great. Nobody asked for your opinion. But, hey, this FR.
Flame away.
Wait a minute, are you disgusting to look at too? Now I understand. My apologies. /s
A bubble butt.
btw...I am genuinely surprised that you say that you're a man. I honestly thought that you're a girl.
ESPN becoming a pimp daddy. Now that’s sad.
Oh that is rich coming from someone who has the intellectual depth of a hard dry creek bed. You might consider using a hoe to scrape some up.
This is what I mean by hypocritical. You don’t post here for some 6 months then come back acting slick and trying to learn other people.
You the same guy who called Michelle Obama, Our First Lady, “A Big Street Chick”? Was that you?
What is surprising to me, is that I called you a man. LOL
Seriously, I know you probably have seen some crap in your former line of work and what I take is a new hobby or vocation of love.
And maybe being on FR with an anonymous identity has given you a freedom to say things one doesn’t say in the physical world. At least, you are freer to say it here with little reprisal.
Let’s be friends, we are on FR and will see each other around here anyway.
agreed
I’m sure glad Her Serene Highness, Michelle Insane, doesn’t look like that.
Mine had Serena on the cover, and they show the other covers inside.
If I was a girl, I'd definitely want the one with Carl Edwards, LOL.
She may not have clothes on...but IMO...that pose is not butt-nekkid.
Just because we can't quite see her butt doesn't mean her butt's not butt-nekkid, you know...
