A fine is not enough - any other sport she would be banned - an absolute disgrace... Ban her for at least one tournament and make an example - she blamed it on her 'passion for what she does' - I blame her attitude - unacceptable in sport nowadays. John McEnroe was entertaining way back when but things have changed (for the better) since then. $10,500 doesn't even pay for her manicure I bet - they bottled it.

Agreed - and it's clear that she says she's going to "ram this ball down your thucking froat" on two occasions.

She lost it - she knew she was going to lose and went gurkha. She even took ages to serve (see other You Tube clips), as if she was trying to delay the inevitable.

I did, however find the line judge's little run to the umpire quite amusing - as if she thought about what to do for a second and then scurried over before Serena could see what she was doing. All great TV ;)

The way I saw it, she was content just to sit there until the umpire actually summoned her over.
