LONDON (Reuters) - World number one Serena Williams has been fined
$175,000 and put on probation for two years for her foul-mouthed
tirade at the U.S. Open, the International Tennis Federation (ITF)
said on Monday.
The ITF said a further major offence at a grand slam in the next two
years would see her suspended from the U.S. Open in 2010, 2011 or
2012. The fine will be reduced to $82,500 if she commits no further
major offence through 2011.
"On 9 November 2009, the grand slam committee administrator determined
Serena Williams had committed the grand slam major offence of
aggravated behavior for her misconduct at the 2009 U.S. Open," an ITF
statement said.
The outburst was prompted by an incident in her semi-final against
eventual champion Kim Clijsters in September.
Trailing 4-6 5-6 15-30, Williams launched into a second serve but the
baseline lineswoman called her for a foot-fault, meaning the American
had served a double-fault to go match point down.
Astounded by the verdict, Williams launched into an expletive-laced
rant at the official. She waved her racket in the lineswoman's
direction and then shook a ball in her clenched fist as she threatened
to "shove it down" her throat.
Having already received a warning earlier in the match for smashing a
racket, Williams was handed an automatic point penalty for a second
violation which abruptly ended the match, giving Clijsters a 6-4 7-5
victory.
Organisers fined her $10,500, the biggest given to a female player
since records began in 1990, at the end of the tournament for her
unsportsmanlike behavior.
Williams's $175,000 fine includes the $10,500 penalty she has already
received.
You can go fuck yourself, slime-ball cocksucker..

"Nigger bitch Serena Williams fined $175,000 and 2 years probation for
foul mouthed tirades."
"another example of niggers behaving badly. you can take the nigger
out
of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the nigger"
But no comment on the obvious, eh?
"another example of niggers behaving badly. you can take the nigger
out
of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the nigger"
That is the cold hard truth. Another true statement: You can take the
nigger out of the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the
nigger.

Wow, how vital!
By the way, how much was Dick Cheney, at the time the vice-
president of the United States, fined for telling a U.S.
Senator, "Go fuck yourself"?
How much was Cheney, or his alleged boss George W. Bush,
fined for his war crimes, his lies to the American people,
his responsibility for the deaths of hundreds of thousands
of innocents?
But hey, if you think a tennis player's outburst over a
mislabeled foot fault is so important...
