On Saturday night shortly before 11:00pm Serena Williams left officials speechless and fans asking, “what did she say?” There are many rumors about what exactly Serena said. Here’s what happened.

Earlier in the match Serena got a warning for smashing her racket after losing a heated point. The next thing she did was both demeaning to herself and the officials so they awarded her opponent with a point. The point happened to be match point. Serena was called for a foot fault on her second serve and she didn’t agree with the call, so she said something along the lines of this “If I could, I would take this f—k ball and shove it down your f—k throat,” The poor line judge also said Serena threatened to kill her. Serena denies this allegation. It’s downright unacceptable for a tennis player to lose control on national TV. Articles are littered all over the internet shunning her.

Overall Serena should be much more professional. Tennis is meant to be a quiet game not a loud rude game. Serena quickly regained her control, but by then it was too late. Later when she was interviewed by Sports Illustrated she said, “Well, I said something that I guess they gave me a point penalty. Unfortunately it was on match point.” When asked exactly what she said to the line judge her reply was, “What did I say? You didn’t hear?” I think Serena deserved her punishment and I hope she learned her lesson.
