Gossip: Serena Williams
Williams lost her temper when a judge penalized her during a crucial point in the U.S. Open finals match against Samantha Stosur.
Serena Williams has had yet another U.S. Open meltdown, said the New York Post. During the women’s championship match versus Australia’s Samantha Stosur this week, the tennis star lost her cool when a judge penalized her during a crucial point in the match. “If you ever see me walking down the hall, look the other way, because you’re out of control,” an angry Williams told the judge. “You’re a hater, and you’re unattractive inside.” Williams, who is currently on probation by the United States Tennis Association after a similar episode at the Open in 2009, was fined $2,000 for the outburst.
