Serena Williams foot fault video showing line judge accusing her of foot fault.
Serena Williams was disqualified from the Saturday 12 September 2009 US Open Semi-Finals after a foot fault that was later found to have not happened after a review of the tape and after had a very aggressive outburst.
Sadly, in this match, rather than pick her crack and win while her opponent cowers in fear, Williams lost after being disqualified for a foot fault violation by the line judge at 10:52 p.m. on her second serve to go match point down.
Williams was furious at the line judge and so she started screaming. The judge thought Williams was threatening them as Williams was making he GRRRR face.
However, she yelled actually “I swear to God, I’m [bleep] taking this ball and I’m shoving it down your [bleep] throat”… which is much better. It was either that or “I swear, I never even learned how to spell L-O-S-E-R in school, well, who’d of ever thought it. WTF am I supposed to do now!?!”

I didn’t watch this live but a lot of people agree that the foot fault call was stupid. That being said, what she said was uncalled for but lots of athletes curse and get upset. If she hadn’t made the second comment she could have gotten away with the first, if that makes sense lol.
I totally agree, the second silly comment would have gotten the point across without anyone thinking she’d yelled a death-threat! The foot fault call was bogus, so she lost for no reason. Personally, I don’t really care that she yelled. She should have won anyway.
