My goodness, what is the biggest news about the US Open! Not the fantastic shot that Roger Federer managed through the legs. He shot, not looking since his back was to the net. The ball was still in. Wow, that was a shot to behold and close to the end of his semi-final match.
No, the talk of the games is Serena Williams behaviour at the end of her match with Kim Clisters. Okay, lines people are not supposed to call foot faults at the end of a match, an unspoken rule but how does the lines person know that it is the end of the match or near the end? To threaten an official in such a way is no longer sportsman like. The penalty of $10,000 is meaningless to her and she still played her final ladies doubles with her sister.
Hopefully, the tennis federation will take time to consider the situation carefully and exact a punishment that fits the situation.
