NEW YORK (YBH.ME) – Tennis star Serena Williams lost her cool yesterday during the U.S. Open Women’s semi-final match with Kim Clijsters of Belgium. After receiving a foot foul call, Ms. Williams gave the line judge who made the call a piece of her mind.
It is impossible from the video below to decipher exactly what Ms. Williams said to the line judge, but she does approach her on more than one occasion with her racket outstretched in what could be viewed as an aggressive manner.
Full video of the incident:
The foot foul, combined with an additional penalty for yelling at the line judge, was enough to end the game and the match. Williams had received an earlier warning for smashing a racket. Clijsters will play Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki in the U.S. Open final today.
Serena Williams is one Grand Slam singles title away from tying Billie Jean King’s record of 12.
