John McEnroe says “...you can’t call that there...” meaning that an inch worth of a foot fault which is not going to affect the point even microscopically is not a reasonable call on match point or the point prior to it. The lineswoman screwed up and I still don’t see anything in body language or anything else to indicate she had a reason to feel threatened. The lineswoman needs to be sent back to the minor leagues.

“The lineswoman screwed up”

You mean it was a bad call?

From the video I saw her foot was definitely over the line.

Either they have rules or they don’t.

Does the same logic` apply to a ball served a miniscule amount over the line? Just barely, barely, barely out? Or should those be called "in" because, really, a miniscule amount shouldn't matter?

Regardless of whether the call was correct or not... and we'll never have as good a perspective as the line judge... Serena Williams was wrong, and in a BIG way.

It was a foot fault pure and simple. She profanely threatened a line judge. What don’t you get?

You’re either blind, crazy or a pro-black racist.
