Serena Williams: Oops, she did it again - Sports Blog - CBS News: "It wasn't as bad as her 2009 foot fault meltdown, but Serena Williams did herself no favors with her latest tirade against an umpire in the 2011 women's final.
Today, to add insult to the injury of losing the championship Sunday, the U.S. Open has fined her a whopping $2,000. She can deduct it from her $1.4 million winnings at the tournament.
After what she thought was a controversial call against her, Williams went into a tirade against chair umpire Eva Asderaki, saying among other things she was a "hater," "unattractive inside," "a loser," "out of control" and that if they ever met in the halls, Asderaki better not look at her.
It was three levels dialed back from the 2009 U.S. Open, when the overwrought superstar threatened to put the bleeping ball down the bleeping throat of a lineswoman who foot faulted her at a crucial stage of her semifinal against Kim Clijsters. That lost her the match and got her a two-year probation period."
