Venus Williams vs. Aussie Open Umpire

Venus Williams in a heated exchange with an umpire at the 2008 Australian Open during a doubles match with her sister Serena Williams. This is the same umpire (Eva Asderaki) in the 2011 women's final at the US Open.

No, it's putting your point across effectively. Note that even though Venus was heated, she did not swear at the umpire, was assertive and got her point across really well.

There's a difference.

[glencoco4ful]

I love the next point they play

The umpire said she thought is was out. If you think it was out then overrule the call its that simple

@MisterMusic74 Another idiot that ignores the fact the the umpire was in the wrong.

Ewww...the ilk of society that are hypocrites to their hearts and love it.

@GirlFeetSniffer4U You are such a racist loser hiding behind the internet. I doubt you would make this comment in public in front of Venus or Serena.

[jese1975]

Go Venus!!!! I love how little sister Serena did not say anything while big sister Venus put her point across... I love these girls!!!

@GirlFeetSniffer4U They are famous and rich. They help poor countries, poor people, fight violence against woman, and lots of contribution in this world. Best tennis players in the past 15 years, they are over the age and still winning against youngsters. You hate them, because not even 1 tenth of quarter, you can do it. You will die hatting forever, that is yours sentence that God gave it to you. God bless them with talent. Yours bless is ignorance, keep hating no one really cares about you.

its not the umpire. the williams are just crazy.

[GirlFeetSniffer4U]

Poor girl. Angry Niggers gaining up on her. The umpire should keep a bucket of fried chicken to give to the monkeys when they start to argue.

@uztoobz HAHA. Poor Asderaki. But the sisters have a point, and she should have called a "let", accusing Serena of trying to cheat. That's probably why Serena snapped.
