Anger outburst could land Serena Williams “in court” rather than on the court
Professional Tennis can be a challenging sport. Rain delays, nagging injuries and bad calls by the line judge can bring out the worst in the best competitors. John Mcenroe one of the premiere tennis players of all time is known more by his on the court tirades than his stellar play.
The tennis world had come to expect such behavior from John but not from one of the darlings of tennis.
Serena Williams not only lost an U.S. open tennis match but she may have lost the respect of fans world wide.
After a 32 hour delay the match between Kim Clijsters and Serena Willimas was halted after the line judge called Serena for a foot fault.
Rather than making an official protest to the WTA (Womens Tennis Association) Serena sent a volley of expletives:
“I swear to God I’m fucking taking this ball and shoving it down your fucking throat…” and then after a bunch of other yelling she closed it off with a… “motherfucker.”
I’m pretty sure that’s not the best way to get your point across. In fact it is a good way to get charged with a criminal or terroist threat.
Serena’s actions were not only rude but criminal. A terroist threat is a verbal or written statement that suggests an act of bodily harm agaisnt another.
If the WTA line judge considers pressing charges, Serena Willimas could face jail time, probation or at a minimum a court ordered anger management course.
