Serena Williams lost her cool, and then she lost the match. Now the biggest name in women's tennis is tweeting about her US Open tirade.
It was a battle befitting of the two top players in the game Both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal brought their 'all' to the court and put on a four hour slugfest that could rank up there with the 'Thrilla in Manila' Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier slugfest in October 1975.
Novak Djokovic was on the wrong side of the court, and the celebration, a year ago after the last ball was struck in the U.S. Open final. But for "Nole," 2011 has been much, much different.
