Foot fault at an extremely important point. Serena at US Open 2009 

Good cal Pal! I noticed the same thing!

Matei Gheorghiu 9yrs*

It was very comical seeing those two appear. I want to see some memes of it, be some niche shit

This is his last year though

Yes! I noticed it too. Very funny it seemed to me.

amen man. u know the irony here? I was a huuuge Serena fan and then this happened and I was so shocked and embarrassed and realized Serena is a bully and I hate bullies. and look at again today against Osaka, who probly worshipped the ground she walked on but still cut her ass. I mean u would think Osaka was the 23 time Slam champ and Serena was the rookie how she carried on today. her coach clearly admitted after the match he CHEATED and kudos for Ramos for having the balls to stand by his convictions and protect the integrity of the game.

Who care what you think

English?

Her attitude was over the top. But the coaching violation seems to exist in a very grey zone that doesn't seem to fool proof itself out of existence (which in itself is a bit dumb). Why not seat coaches on sides or out of player view. If what she says about men saying far worse things is true, then perhaps she raises more points in her merit. Her constant verbal abuse was perhaps uncalled for. Penalized for "Thief" doesn't seem right, but the prior verbal abuse was penalty worthy. But all of these penalties stemmed from the initial coaching penalty which doesn't seem to hold weight imo. The coach admitted to coaching, but it seemed more of a habitual coaching like how you instruct any professional players while watching on tv. opinions? thoughts?

two things are for sure: she badgered the umpire and she broke her raquet. whether the coaching shuld be penalized or not, is gray, but the coach admitted it afterwards, so it's not an unfair call. sometimes umpires make bad calls as with any sport--but if you keep badgering him with it then it becomes th eplayer's fault. two wrongs dont make a right. william thinks that badgering the umpire will somehow make it right. it doesn't

people are arguing they have heard worse from the men but I have never seen anyone walk over to to a lines person like that before.

Sharapova I think was on the roids

@@craigsims1189 because she exhibited the classic symptoms of abnormal muscle tone, quick injury recovery and uncontrollable nearly violent outbursts?

Delio Zuño You are right 😂😂

Delio Zuño I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who heard it

Bloody snitches. You can't trust anyone.

If the act of shoving a ball down to someone else throat is not killing, then I don't know what is.

She did, she apologized at the press conference when she had thought about it.

I don't think she meant it that way. She has a lot of respect for both Kim and Naomi. She might do something like that for Sharapova though.

Stop hating Paulie, you wish you were her 🧡

@@Fajri_Umar I don't think Paulie wishes to be a short tempered sore loser like Serena Williams who makes everything about race and sex when it is just the Umpire following the rules.

Honestly she seems to apologize to Kim. Still ruins a proper win and go to the final but at least she shows publicly her consideration for her opponent, she could have just stormed off after a regular handshake.

lordjurojin37 The Umpire was doing what they do best, what they want, so you can kill that sh@! .You &Paulie are the biggest sore losers out here, currently boo

weiofnewioafnioas and same excuse “there are other who say much worse”.

And here you are as a typical white person, like we all know you are, trying to tell another person how to act. Not a shocker either.

That black female attitude she has will NEVER change.

She lacks class and common sense. Just an ugly person who can't accept when others win. The worst thing is people defend this attitude.

I'm lockey, lockey, leave you pokey, pokey No Rice a Roni that's the okey, dokey And here you are assuming that I must be white just because I think Serena acted foolishly. Not a shocker either.

1:49

I would love for her to provide examples of who says worse things. I don't know many men who've threatened physical harm on a line judge.

Still using others to justify her own shitty behaviour. She really is a nasty human being, she won't change.

She seems to be an expert for whataboutism. Only a matter of time til she resorts to the Giuliani defense -- "rules aren't rules"

well if hillary and bill clinton can get away with it, i think i can too...... meanwhile in prison "FUUUUUCK I WAS WRONG, but they did way worse right?"

Her point was they've said worse and not gotten penalized. I don't know if she's right about that. Could be. Either way I think her behavior was disgraceful and deserved penalizing.

So was Osaka

@@saltnugget completely robbed of it. Won not because they earned it, but a silly and petty default

@Mi K not in these matches. They didn’t win by winning a match point, they won because their opponent was disqualified

Steroids made her crazy.

Kim had it in the bag anyway She was in Serena's head the whole match

She's so manipulative

It's about EQUALITY, not excuses. If the men get away with it, then leave her alone! They already get paid way more anyway!

PushTheMovement Male tennis players make more overall then females. The top male tennis players make way more than the top females like Serena. I'm including brand deals, etc. Not just from the tournaments... Are you seriously implying that women make the same as men?? Give me a break, men have always made more the women in general.

Men spend more time on the field, run more, hit the ball stronger, of course they gonna get paid more. Men tennis is much more interesting than women tennis, nothing's happening in women tennis, it's not even fun to watch.

Yeah, her 2009 self said way worse than her 2018 self 😂

serena should just retire man before things really get outta hand next time.

She can’t control her rage.

legend? legendary PED user

What legend? Oh.. you mean her legendary outbursts. Yup, somebody had mentioned goat and the poor lady must be buying into it. Not even close.

Neither the race card.

Hahaha Her daughter wasn't born here yet. Otherwise you bet your ass she'd drag sexism and her poor baby into this too.

She can't , since the line referee is a woman too, and non white, so she can't play the racism card either.

She played it and the mother card.

What? No, it wasn't game/set/match. Why are you saying an untruth? Facts matter. Williams damaged her reputation here, like other times.

​@@treylem3it was game/set/match? The score was 6/4 6/5 40/15. It was match point. Therefore, when she got a point penalty, she lost the match. Wether this also damaged her reputation is a seperate issue.

I felt so sorry for the poor line judge in this - she was just doing her job. No one needs that sort of abuse from multi millionaire tennis players when they are paid almost nothing by comparison. I saw her at Wimbledon qualifying this year - so she is still working as a line judge so good for her!

@@treylem3 Watch the video through to the end.

I know the lineswoman, her first name is Shino. She’s still calling lines today, and is one of the most respected line callers in the sport. Serena knows she was wrong, it was a foot fault. It’s an easy call, the linesperson is sitting in a chair lined up right down the baseline.

Can't take responsibility for her own actions, she just has to use others to excuse her own shitty behaviour. Such a horrible trait in a person, she clearly won't change either.

whataboutism

"Strong, the victim mentality in her is." Yoda always finishes with the predicate. :-p

Yeah, her 2009 self, here, said way worse than her 2018 self. 😂

@@ManPursueExcellence how can you say that about her? Do you not know she is a mother?

Am I the only one who can understand her frustration? Every point matters in tennis. Factor in it's game, set, match, and championship point and it's understandable why someone would throw a tantrum at a bad call (and both instances were cases of bad calls). We have computers that can perfectly calculate line calls for pro matches. There's no need for flawed or biased refs.

"bad call" my ass. If you break the rules, you deserve to get penalized. No one is above them in any sport.

Tou'che Freddy...Tou'che

@@herpderpmonkey The rule says you cannot be on the line period in the process of your serve.

I magine Venus has seen more serena rage then anyone.

Funny thing is, when people hate Serena for showing this kind of disgusting behaviour. Fans say that we hate her because she is female and she is black. OMG, who threatens someone like this? 😮 We love Fedal because not only they are great champs, they are great humans as well. Serena is just a great champ.

@@kuls43I like Djokovic because he’s the only guy in all of sports that didn’t cave-in. He has also beat the pants off of the guys that are supposedly better than him. I would be cocky to if I was continuously told I was the third best in a group of guys I was clearly better than

​@@NationalSportsEntertainmentNSEHe won multiple matches against legends, who were already well past their prime. He's notorious for dominating in the weakest era of tennis, where the courts were slow and long rallies were ridiculously common. Everyone knows that if he ever battled Federer and Nadal during their absolute peak, then he wouldn't have won 23 slams.

Well, this is how the "Rich and Famous" behave. No respect for the "Little People". Venus would never have done this so it's all Serena the MONSTER.

He is that kinda person.

@In CogNito Still, though. Wasn't she already an established champion back then? Beating Serena Williams is something special for any tennis player. Male or female.

@@jayive34 You can see Clijsters doesn't want anything to do with her.

@@jayive34 lol! I guess you like drugs

That's what thugs do.

Because she's an authentic bitch!

What does Serena say at 1:46? "Are you scared? Because I said XXXXXXXXXXX you?"

Jeepman89, the problem is it wasn't a foot fault... It was a bad call on to make it literally championship point. People who dont watch tennis dont understand just how game-deciding bad calls and giving up 1 point in a game can be.

Took a few listens, but I'm 100% sure this is what is said: 1:45 Williams (aggressive): "are you scared, cause i said I would hit you?..... (pausing) I'm sorry but there's a lot of people who said way worse.... (pausing)...I said... (pausing)...I didn't say I would kill you are you serious?" Someone from the audience: "Yeah you did!" Yikes!

Should have been charged. Worst person in all professional sports

It would be nice to be able pay a $17,000 fine like its 17 cents

@@xidiamond6851 Ikr 😂

I find it frightening. It's the corollary of the John McEnroe antics all those years ago, the incipient anger not dealt with sternly enough at that stage, and with the racket abuse and grunting, not to mention the larger raquet head, tennis has changed not always for the better in the last 40 years.

Venus knows exactly where this situation is going. She’s seen it 1000x before.

The refs aged well. Lol

lostn65 :: Can you imagine if the line judge was a white male. . There would have been fires and riots later that night.

Is their an "I am going to be a mother" class?

The line judge was an asian, so couldnt play the race card as well 😆

couldn't play the mother card because her daughter wasn't born yet 🤣

the white man is the president of the US opens tho

Same thing she did with Osaka

It's sportswomanship. Her issue is with the linesperson and chair umpire, not her opponent. BTW, the spell checker is sexist. It accepts "sportsmanship" as a word, but not "sportswomanship." I'm still going to use it.

@@johnanderson9765 the word “man” when used as part of another word is short for Human. Same way the word man is in the word woman, why don’t you change it to wowoman? Don’t you want also to change history to herstory? It seems your autocorrect is a little bit smarter then you. Another example for short human is mankind, which refers to the whole human kind, not only man.

@@johnanderson9765 also her issue is not with opponent nor with the umpire, her issue is her entitlement and lack of sportsmanship. She should have been banned for 6 weeks. In football they would.

Good sarcasm

She's wrong here completely but of all the years she's lost, there's only been 2 incidents off the top of my head. Crazy how you ignore the other times she was graceful and civil

Threatening someone’s life kind of counts triple or quadruple, it seems to me.

@@MoonMoon-fx1op actually just at the open there has been more than 2 "incidences"... clijsters, osaka, andreescu to name 3 and all when she was losing....

@@tomschmitz261 that's fair, but after some of the stuff she's been through that has been documented, it's still impressive that it hasn't been more incidents

Serena is the GOAT because she's played female tennis at the highest absolute level, that is all the GOAT discussion should be about. If GOAT includes grace and civility then that automatically rules out Michael Jordan in basketball and Ali in boxing. You see how ridiculous that is?

This is more than yelling and screaming, in this case it was a criminal threat. Felony assault.

She can't help it. She has testosterone overdose.

She be tossed out every single game and basically paying her contract worth in fines

She modeled herself after John McEnroe.

Yep, all turning around thinking 'did I really just hear that?'

No 2018 was due to the umpire being male and picking on a poor defenceless mother.

2009 and 2018 showed same lineswoman getting threatened...maybe an anti-asian thing?

The call was bullshit

​@@The_Kingdom_Citizensit down. you're not the line umpire.

​@@The_Kingdom_Citizenthat call was 100% correct. It was blatant foot fault. Your foot must not touch the line during service motion, until the moment after racket hits the ball.

Jonathan David I was extremely heartbroken to see Naomi have to pull down her visor in shame and cry. The crowd only stopped booing when Serena told them to stop, and Naomi ended up apologizing for winning. That made me cry. Poor girl battled her idol and won her first grand slam but it was all ruined for her. I’m so sad I live in a country where people act like this. I used to be a fan of Serena, and even though the umpire shouldn’t have made that “verbal abuse” call, she still lost her cool and should take responsibility instead of blaming it on sexism.

This is just her lefty NY faanclownbase. I can't imagine the rest of the USA outside of NY and CA would support her after this.

Naomi will be fine. But the crowd was terrible, and the social justice warriors that have never watched a minute of tennis in their lives continue to be even worse.

@@caseygreyson4178 shouldn't have called the verbal abuse! You think serena's behavior was acceptable? what planet are you on?

@@paulatling8844 I’m shocked you misinterpreted my comment that badly. Not once did I say her behavior was acceptable. She acted like a child.

What planet are YOU on that you think being called a thief is verbal abuse?

Plus this is a MAN!!! Oh God! People open your eyes!

But sadly this had affect Osaka a lot in later despite winning the first grand slam but a boo to her had affect her
