US Open Serena Williams Foot Fault Outburst

Serena Williams had a bit of a meltdown at the 2009 US Open in her match against Kim Clijsters when a lineswoman made a foot fault call. Because Williams had received an earlier warning for smashing a racket, she was handed an automatic point penalty for a second violation, giving Clijsters the match 6-4, 7-5.

Apparently, Serena said to the lineswoman, "I swear to God, I'll fucking take this ball and shove it down your fucking throat."

After officials discussed with an irate Serena about what went down, Serena audibly yelled, "I didn't say I would kill you are you serious?"

Then, a teary-eyed Williams threw her racket down, shook hands with Clijsters and stormed off the court to a chorus of boos.

During a press conference about the incident, when asked about what she'd actually said to the lineswoman, Serena said that she "didn’t remember anymore" and that what happened was "in the moment."

Serena refused to make a statement on the exact conversation between her and the officials.
