Serena Williams outburst in US Open Final
Serena Williams outburst is the most trendy topic among tennis lovers. The tennis champion will find out on Monday if she will face more punishment for an outburst at umpire Eva Asderaki in the US Open final.
Sam Stosur won the match 6-2 6-3 after Williams was given a code violation for verbally using foul language at the Greek official.
Tournament referee Brian Earley has not the task to decide is it is right to fine the 13-time Grand Slam champion, Serena Williams.
“Any influence this code violation may well have on Serena Williams’ Grand Slam probation would require the incident being ruled a main event,” said a statement from the United States Tennis Association.
“That determination will certainly be made by the Grand Slam Panel Director.”
The incident took place when Williams looked to have rescued a break point at the begin of the 2nd set against Stosur, but her loud cry of “Come on!” was judged by umpire Asderaki to have come prior to the Australian had a chance to get the ball back.
The point – and the game – subsequently went to the Australian for “intentional hindrance”, and after winning the next point a furious Williams aimed an angry tirade at Asderaki.
She was consequently given a code breach, and at the end of the game she continued to berate the umpire, saying “You’re out of control. You’re a hater, and you’re just unattractive inside.”
She added: “We live for these moments, you understand. Everyone lives to be, you know, in the final of Wimbledon or the final at the US Open. Whatever happens in that moment, you live for them and we breathe for them, and hopefully I’ll be back for them.”
Stosur admitted that she had been amazed by the Serena outburst, stating: “I did not actually know what was going on. I was just there. I know about the rule but I have never had to cope with it before.”
Williams has been fined £53,000 and put on a probationary period at the four main championships in 2010 and 2011 after verbally insulting an official over a foot-fault call in her semi-final defeat by Kim Clijsters at the 2009 US Open.
