Stosur stuns Williams to win U.S. Open title

Yahoo Sports ^ | 9/11/2011 | Julian Linden

Throughout the second set she repeatedly argued with the chair umpire in a petulant display that rekindled memories of her exit from the 2009 U.S. Open.

“If you ever see me walking down the hall, look the other way because you’re out of control,” Williams said.

Yeah, I did a quick check of forums on the sports sites. ESPN and CNN/SI don’t seem to have a forum for tennis. Here is the CBS forum on tennis. Nine posts and only one defender for her, but the one defender does make a good point that people didn’t seem to get too upset at Jimmy Connor’s rants against officials back in the day.

“Aren’t you the one who screwed me over last time here?” Serena asked after being told of the point penalty? “Yeah, you are.”

Actually, Louise Engzel was the umpire in Serena's infamouse 2009 semifinal match, not Eva. But I guess all white people look alike to her. {smirk}

Serena was absolutely in the wrong and handled it without class.

Stosur doesn't look like one you would want to cross in a hallway either.

They are nasty people. You can see it in their faces when they play. I will be very glad when they’re no longer in the game.

[NormsRevenge]

Ever gracious.
in defeat as in victory.
Not!

[Christian Engineer Mass]

That’s a man with breasts. That’s not a woman. What a ruination to the game of tennis.

[mtrott]

Yeah, Stosur looks to be getting real good results in the weight room. Her comments post match were pure class.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

What were her comments?

[poobear]

Okay, I'll say it. The Williams sisters got a little “uppity” once Barry was elected. However, those deep seeded racist weights on their shoulders were there long before their tennis professions. Just talk for five minutes with their father.

It's quite lovely to see the he/she sisters crash and burn. No guilt here either for some of their health misfortunes. Name me one athlete who doesn't have health issues.

Serena acts all cutesy when the camera is on her with her false smile, as soon as she walks off, the sour angry face comes on. She did it today in the hallway after being interviewed before she walked onto court, all smiles when answering questions as she walked away camera was still on her, face switched in an instant to sourface.

I used to watch McEnroe, Borg, Connors, Gerulitis and Nastase back in the day and hated the loudmouth antics of Connors and Mac. Borg was my favorite-He always seemed to have a knowing smirky confidence about him.

Serena intentionally violated the rule by screaming during the point. She did it to distract Stosur during the point first of all and then probably to get some controversy going to change the rythmn of the match. Just like yesterday, she had to get some attention by bringing out the trainer for medical treatment on her toe. It was another violation that they let go. You can not have medical treatment on an existing injury, yet she was allowed. I had to laugh when she was jumping and dancing around after the win, an amazing recovery. I have to hand it to McEnroe, he said, Stosur was the right person to win the match.

Remember Martina Navratilova? Whoah, I would definitely not want to tangle with her. Seems like she turned into so much a man, she lost her breasts!

[Christian Engineer Mass]

Yes I’ve seen that. It’s actually a very useful commentary on the utter falseness of the television veneer that dominates so many peoples’ lives.

I’d like a gif of that.

[ColdOne]

Wow I didn’t know Serena was this way.

[NormsRevenge]

She’s Aussie. tough.

[Feckless]

Sista done gone ghetto.....

Gone?

Given her competition, she has to work out.
