Serena Williams Outburst Video
The Serena Williams outburst is all over the news today, and it’s set to undergo an in-depth investigation. What happened? Well, Williams launched into a profane outburst at the U.S. Open last night. See the Serena Williams outburst in closeup below.
Williams lost her cool after being called for a foot fault on a second serve while trailing 15-30 and 5-6 in the second set of last night’s match. Kim Clijsters won the first set 6-4.
According to Yahoo! Sports, Williams will be asked to explain her actions and comments toward the female line judge. She’ll likely have to pay a heavy fine for her actions. According to the Associated Press, Williams screamed at the official, “If I could, I would take this [bleep] ball and shove it down your [bleep] throat.”
Do you think Williams should be fined? Hasn’t John McEnroe, for one, done 10x worse in his day, yelling obscenities at linespeople?

Aaron Krickstein Vs Jimmy Connors at the 1991 US Open
September 2, 1991 - In his prime, Jimmy Connors bullied and attacked his way to monstrous success, but now in 1991, the lion was long in the tooth. In fact, Connors was celebrating his 39th birthday when he confronted 24-year-old Aaron Krickstein in the fourth round of the U.S. Open.
Jimbo was the fan favorite, having already come back from a two sets to none deficit in the first round against Patrick McEnroe and then winning his next two matches. After losing the first set to Krickstein 6-3, Connors, playing with a surgically rebuilt wrist, took the second with a dramatic 10-8 win in the tiebreaker. He was routed 6-1 in the third set and then tied the match by winning the fourth 6-3. However, Connors looked like he ran out of steam in the fifth set, falling behind 5-2.
