I agree with Steve Hietpas' statement "Even after all of these years, she has not figured this out." - yeah, Serena has 11 Grand Slams, hasn't that given her enough experience to mature in all the aspects of the game?

Yes it was bad behavior and she should have apologized. I've seen far worse on a tennis court many times. Oh please Steve, you make it sound like she killed a baby on center court.

Americans should no longer support her as a representative of the US at any venue. She, like many excellent athletes, often believe that they can justify their deplorable behavior as a result of the heat of the moment, as if they earned it by their excellent athletic ability -- this is always a very poor and unacceptable excuse. It is a true champion that can handle themselves well under the most intense of moments -- obviously Serena is not a true champion. Even after all of these years, she has not figured this out. Tiger Woods can often be heard dropping F-bombs (he too needs to grow up). I found it ironic that John McEnroe, as a commentator, was reprimanding her for her actions -- wasn't he the father of similar despicable behavior? Her actions speak very loudly about our society too -- if anyone tries to come to her defense, they are just a guilty, and should be ashamed of themselves as well. I will no longer watch tennis when she is playing. Serena should be absolutely ashamed of herself and I really don't see that she has truly apologized for her behavior.

RichF, I'm glad you mentioned the judge. Nobody's talking about the judge's feelings. I bet she is feeling horrible, and much worse than Serena. Alice, you'll be like the only one rooting for Wozniacki, sorry. :P I'm totally fine with Wozniacki, but this time Clijsters is by far fan favorite.

That's a stupid way both to loose and win. Being a dane, of course I hope for Caroline Wozniacki to win the final. Alice I feel bad both for Serena and Clijsters.
