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

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.

Post by: WilliamPowell on September 14, 2011, 09:24:52 PM: 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

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