Serena releases a statement this afternoon saying that she "handled the situation poorly". She doesn't apologize for ruining Kim Clijsters amazing return to the finals at the US open. Kim had no chance to celebrate and enjoy the moment because it was all about Serena's childish fit. I really hope Serena never wins a major again. The Williams sisters have ruined women's tennis with their baseline smash-fests. Thank goodness Kim is back and Oudin shows promise for the US. Time for Serena to retire. Go Kim!

re: Go Kim!!!

Wow. Exaggerate much?

She hardly ruined Kim's comeback. Kim won, and any minute now she's going to begin playing in the final. Even if she loses there, she still made it to the final. They're not going to have an asterisk next to her name listed as the runner-up saying that Serena got angry in the semifinal.

How exactly have the Williams sisters ruined tennis? Because they done serve and volley enough? Because they're too powerful? Because the grunt?

re: Go Kim!!!

The Willims sisters have saved tennis. They have also outlasted all pretenders like Hingis & Sharapova. Saying they have ruined tennis with their style is like saying Bekele has ruined distance running by winning with fast last laps. If their opponetns can't deal with that, then they ought to find a way to beat them or go do ballet or something. Not only do they kick ass on the court, but they also proved that you didn't have to lead a myopic tennis acdemy burnout at 19 type existence to amount to something in the women's game. They did it their way, and they're still here and the other are not, and hats off to them. If it weren't for them the US women's game would be right down the crapper.

Why do athletes always have to apologize? Same with politicians, coaches, and other public figures. All the news is anymore is famous guys apologizing for some stuff that a few lamewads can't deal with and had to go get all offended over.

re: Go Kim!!!

There are a crapload of women who try to play like the Williams sisters. They just are not as good. The two in the US open final right now are smashing away from the baseline. Isn't sharapova a bigtime grunter. Seles? Is that because they are stroking the ball so gently?

Pretenders like Hingis? How is she a pretender? She won 5 majors!

re: missouri xc

Kim didn't get any celebration after beating Serena. Serena crapped all over that with her stupid tantrum on the line judge. Serena could have just served it out. But she didn't want to hear everyone cheer for Kim. So, she made sure it was all about Serena, even if it was all negative. She could have apologized and everyone would have been able to move on. But, she didn't so everyone would still talk about her, not Kim. Serena has always been a tremendously poor sport when she loses. Her post match press conferences are just disturbing. She never gives an opponent any credit. She just sulks around and is incredibly flippant and rude.
