They say hell hath a fury like a woman scorned; well hell hasn’t been introduced to Serena Williams. In a match of firsts, the three time Grand Slam Champion, lost her cool while battling unranked, unseeded Kim Clijsters (6-4, 7-5) in a high strung semi-final with elimination from the U.S. Open Finals on the line when she was called for a ‘foot fault’ resulting in the loss of a crucial match point. According to a line judge, Williams faulted on her first serve and shortly thereafter her second serve, the judge called a ‘foot fault’ making the penalty a ‘double fault.’ The rare call brought the score to 15-40 and Kim Clijsters one point away from victory.
Serena obviously upset by the ruling, gave new meaning to the words, angry black woman and in preparation for her appearance in Tyler Perry’s ‘Diary of A Mad Black Woman, Part 2,’ unleashed several choice words in the form of “f-bombs” as she so “politely” told the line judge that she was gonna “take this f***ing ball and shove it down her f***ing throat.
