Following a foot fault at match point in the semifinal she was losing to Kim Clijsters, Serena Williams approached the linesperson who had called the fault aggressively, unleashing a tirade of f-words. The linesperson told the umpire she felt threatened by what Williams had said, and a point penalty was issued. Williams thus lost the match (6-4, 7-5), and Clijsters heads to the final.
What did Serena say exactly? In an argument with officials, she was heard denying she had threatened the linesperson: "I didn't say I would kill you. Are you serious?"
According to witness reports that are circulating, Williams said to the linesperson: "You don't know me. You better be right. I swear to God I’m fucking taking this ball and shoving it down your fucking throat…”
Later, in a press conference, Williams said, "I don't know why she felt threatened." --Source
Well Well Well, looks like Serena went back to her roots last night didn't it haha. There is alot of mixed views on this "incident" both supporting and bashing Serena. Its possible she threatened the lines person, your down in the game, your missing shots you shouldn't be of course frustrations going to build up. She'll bounce back though.
