You can’t say that, Serena!
“If I could, I would take this f… ball and shove it down your f… throat,” a statement that resulted in a point penalty on match point at the US Open where Serena Williams lost her semi-final match against Kim Clijsters.
You can’t say this to ANYONE, Serena, no matter who you are!
I am not surprise.
When asked if she should apologize to the lineswoman, Serena said, “An apology? For what? How many people yell at linespeople? “Players, athletes get frustrated. I’m sorry, but a lot of people have said a lot worse.”
True indeed. “Can’t spell DYNASTY without NASTY.” A message Serena communicated “through” her T-shirt which she wore at her media conference after her third round win.
Lost in the Serena’s drama was Clijsters’ significant victory. It was only her third tournament after 2½ years in retirement. The 26-year-old Belgian became the first mother to reach a Grand Slam final since Evonne Goolagong Cawley won Wimbledon 1980. She will be playing against Caroline Wozniacki for the US Open title.
[…] After Serena Williams yesterday’s theatrics, her name was one of the top ten trending topics in Twitter land. Here are some of the comments that I overheard on Twitter. […]
Also, how ironic it is, that Serena has been trying to promote her book with all carefully planned appearances. Yesterday, before her match against Kim Clijsters she wrote: “I would like to thank everyone that purchased, “On the Line!” I am on the NYT bestsellers list as number 23! I am honored & very thankful.”
My guess is, that her book sales numbers are going to significantly drop. What do you think? Will people who were planning to buy her book change their mind after the “foot fault” incident?
[…] she ruined all her months of hard work in a couple of minutes. Yesterday, before her semi-final match against Kim Clijsters she wrote: “I would like to thank everyone that purchased, “On the Line!” I am on […]
She will regret those silly T-shirts big time…!
