Many tennis players say "Come On"! Many players make all kinds of different sounds before hitting the ball but I have never seen players given a penalty except Serena. There is a problem! These comments are the perfect examples of the problems! I am so grateful to the Willaims family but so sad that they have to bare so much hatred from sick-minded people!

The issue is timing of it! It wasn't about what she said!
Get a clue.

Serena is a clueless, brainless, classless, boorish juvenile who needs to look at her sister for guidance.
Serena also needs to keep her "roid rage" in check......

.... and we, by way of ticket sales and endorsement deals, pay these people millions of dollars so we can see them play a game while acting like spoiled brats ........

Professional sports are a joke and it's athletes are the worst possible role models for our children. At its most basic level, even ignoring punks like the person mentioned in this article, it teaches children to value physical ability above intellect. That's pretty sad.

A $2000.00 fine, what a joke. Since she was on "probation" she should not allowed to play in the US Open or any other tournament for a year. THAT would get her attention and might help correct her bad attitude, especially when she just blew it off afterwards. Young people look up to sports celebrities and they need to act like a positive role model intead of spoiled brats.

A paltry fine like that when paired to her winnings must make it a bargain for her to trash talk in her mind. Perhaps an incremental percentage fine starting at 10% if the gross earnings ... How sad that she behaves this way. More should be done!

I've felt this way since the days of Connors and McEnroe. Stop catering to the brats and start cracking down and the behavior will subside. Physical threats make this extra intolerable.
