Serena Williams disqualified after saying "I will kill you"?
 
[youtube]fdYgc8DobUY[/youtube]

Happened at the US Open yesterday. After a line judge called a foot fault on her causing a double fault, Serena Williams goes off. The judge accuses her of saying "I will kill you", and Serena got disqualified.

They should ask the audience behind the judge what was actually said...

If you watch the post-game interview, Serena actually admitted that she misheard the "I will kill you" part... I think she said something like "I will stuff a tennis ball down your throat"..

Orion 09-13-2009 04:37 PM

holy fuck... i would kill them too

StylinRed 09-13-2009 04:41 PM

Clijsters would have beaten her anyway


even with the fault penalty she could still have had a chance of winning but she flipped the fuck out

im surprised they didn't ask for a gender test on the williams sisters

Serna is a classless act, she should be suspended for the game rather than losing the match and getting only a $10,000 fine. This is not WWE where you can lip off lines people.

Feds has every shot in his repetoire. Santoro and Blake have done a tweener lob...

Formal statement from Serena: http://www.onthebaseline.com/2009/09...-she-is-human/

A little too late though, because she had a post game interview and it should have apologized then.

Serena Williams hates Asians

SkinnyPupp 09-13-2009 07:05 PM

Fucking line judge goes out of her way to make sure she gets in shit. I fucking hate people like that.

If the lines person was white, people would call it racist...

SP: How did the line judge go out of their way? Serena twisted her foot and it crossed the line, which is a foot fault. It wasn't the first time she had a foot fault in the tournament.

Rated B 09-13-2009 07:10 PM

Serena smashed her racquet and got a violation in the match, the 2nd violoating was lipping off the lines judge which is unacceptables and classless.

MAC got ejected from matches before too for lipping off people.

She went out of the way to tell the judge what she said, and then was there to tell the other authorities what she said. She made it personal for some reason. Tennis players always bitch at judges, it's nothing new. If it goes too far, then they get ejected. This was just one minor outbreak between serves.

No, that is wrong.

Serena went off to the lines person and the umpire didn't hear/see what happened. Serena went off again and the umpire asked the lines person to come up and explain what Serena said.
The tournament referee was called in as it was a second violoation and to make the decision to eject her.

Serena was the one who made things personal, not the lines person.

Get your facts straight.

Why would they hire someone who needs glasses as line judge anyway?

Ha, funny comment. So you're saying the person possibly couldn't see properly because they were wearing glasses? They sit there to just watch for any foot faults. This is not the Police where you need to have perfect vision without glasses.

Also, the camera review doesn't lie.

The whole point about disqualifying Serena was the fact she had two violations in the match.
