Serena Williams lost her match last night . Why? Yes, she
Edited on Sat Sep-12-09 10:40 PM by Fire1
got upset with the line referee for calling a "fictitious" line foot default! The ref LIED and the replay proved it! BUT, by THAT time Serena had threatened to shove the ball "down her fucking throat!" Another penalty was given at the match point. Serena would've lost any way. She absolutely did not play her best game so there really was no need for the referee to cheat but since when has THAT ever made any fuckin difference where 'we' are concerned.

Serena was calm and collected during the follow up press conference and didn't play into the frenzy of the reporters, much to their chagrin. LOL!!!

THAT'S ALRIGHT SERENA, YOU STILL THE WORLD CHAMP!!!!! I watched the match and looked for links but none available at the time of this post. Sorry.


edit to add: I retract the statement that she would've lost anyway. Not necessarily so. She was only one point down and could have tied it and won during the next set.

1. I think she would have lost anyway, Clijsters was on fire
and Serena lost her cool there at the end but it happens. Oh well, at least now I can watch Sunday Night football wothuout checking the tennis match. Hope Clijsters wins in the end, but my interest in the finals is now almost zero.

2. I give those girls so much credit. They play tennis in plenty of
environments that aren't so happy to see them there.

That was a BS call and they know it....hell anybody can snap!

Go Serena! You are still the World Champ!
