Serena Williams outburst: goes off on umpire at 2011 US Open Finals

Playing a point against Sam Stosur, Serena Williams shouted, "C'MON" when she hit a good ball. She yelled before the ball even landed, though, and the umpire penalized her by giving the point to Stosur.

At that point, Serena told the ump, "You have it in for me? I promise you, that's not cool. That's totally not cool. I truly despise you."

Winning the next point, she angrily pointed at the umpire with her racket and told her, "I hate you."

At the change over, Serena went in on the umpire.

"I promise you, if you ever see me walking down the hall, look the other way, 'cause you're out of control. You're out of control. Totally out of control, you're a hater, and you're just unattractive *pats heart* inside. Who would do such a thing? And I never complain. WOW. What a loser. *drinks water* A rules violation because I express who I am? We're in America, last time I checked. *To towel girl* Can I get a water? *Back to umpire* Or am I gonna get violated for a water? Really, don't even look at me. I promise you, don't look at me, because I am not the one. Don't. Look. My. Way."

After the match, Serena did not shake hands with the umpire.

She did, however, sit with Stosur, and she was gracious to her during the trophy presentation, saying, "It wouldn't have mattered in the end, Sam played really well," and "I guess I need to read the rule books."

NOTE: This video doesn't include the call or her first words to the umpire, it's of the changeover. I also transcribed it myself, so blame me for any inaccuracies.

@doc55ish John McEnroe's outburst was hated and people are disgusted those times. He's thrown out of some of the tournaments. In today's game he's gonna get it, bigtime!! for sure esp. now that we got internet. He's gonna hear and read everything he haven't heard before, not even from his momma. No one is gonna tolerate such behavior, regardless of his race.

You won't hear race comments on Monfils, Blake or even former player like Chanda Rubin that's because they got class.

It's a pity Serena always devolves into this type of behaviour, as she can play some damn fine tennis. Incidents like this one and more so 2009 overshadow her career.

lmao @ your unattractive inside

[citygirl5705]

@budweiser202 You're right. When I watch Serena play I call her a nigger about 1000 times. But I would never think of saying that about those other black players you mentioned, because of what you said --- they have class.

COMMENTATOR: "I CAN' BELIEVE THAT SHE TURNING IT AROUND AND MAKING HERSELF THE VICTIM." SERENA: "WHAT A LOSER!" :)))hahahhahaha

Serena is a competitor that got caught up in the moment. It's unfortunate but it happens a lot. Tennis especially has a culture where you can talk a little smack to the umpire and Serena just went a bit too far. Honestly good for entertainment value and drama, but I can understand where some would find it unacceptable.

@petronije1001 i would love to kiss that thick ass and do other things to it

[petronije1001]

Virginia Wade can kiss Serena`s ass!

[petronije1001]

@chrisriddell1987 that`s not true, the results is what counts! profaine language, class and other bullshit are for losers! serena is the legend!

@budweiser202 shut your mouth, it doesn't matter if williams doesnt have class, no human deserves to get racial comments. People who say nigger because they dont like the person i rasist, and its discusting now days
