Very happy to say I was wrong  ;D thought she'd get over powered by Serena but she didn't

So bloody focused today it was brilliant

Well done Sam Stosur US Open Champion  :bow :bow

Well done Sam.
I had the same thoughts WP but she must of served well and kept Serena Williams on the back foot.

If Serena only got fined $2000, given this was the second time she's had an on-court tantrum towards an umpire, then all Tennis officials have given her is a small tap on the wrist.

McEnroe said it the best.

Quote
Commenting on the piddily $2,000 fine Serena Williams received for bad behaviour at the U.S. Open women’s final, CBS commentator and former star tennis bad boy John McEnroe fired up a  beauty.

McEnroe said he loved the modern game over tennis in his day because “they pay more and fine less.”

Yep Julz a 2-year suspended ban.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/tennis/williamssisters/6701977/Serena-Williamss-suspended-US-Open-ban-brings-tennis-into-disrepute.html

Reading that article though her latest tantrum had to be classed as another "major offence" for the ban to be imposed so there was a get out clause for Tennis officials. Serena brings the crowds supposedly so money talks.

Well maybe the officials thougt Serena was onto something when she declared to umpire "your unattractive ...... inside"

Not condoning her behaviour but gee I cracked up watching her & listening to her...

she's obviously more like her nutter father (who makes Damir Dockic look like the pope btw) than I thought  ;D

Great effort by Samantha!

Now Tennis Australia needs to go back over her development path, and try to replicate it for the juniors coming thru now.
