For your information, the two year probation expired before this year's US Open began....

The fine is about right, given how silly the code violation was.

BBC Sport - US Open 2011: Serena Williams fined $2,000 for umpire rant

'"The Grand Slam committee director has determined that Ms Williams' conduct, while verbally abusive, does not rise to the level of a major offence under the Grand Slam code of conduct," said a USTA statement.'

The BBC news report sounded so disappointed that Serena didn't get more....
:laugh:
How unknowledgeable can they be? This is not a serious offence by any stretch of the imagination. This is consistent with the punishments meted out to other players over recent years.

You cannot have a small fine for white players, and a major fine (or ban) for black players. They have to be consistent for all players....

FMD you're a clown. It's got absolutely nothing to do with race, and it's laughable that you try and make it an issue despite the fact nobody (certainly not on this forum, and certainly not from any reputable/well-known media outlets) has even mentioned such a thing.

What she said to the umpire was deplorable, and it's absolute rubbish that she only received a $2,000 fine given her record for twattish behaviour. Would love it if just once the Chair Ump to gave it straight back to the players.

Fed breaking back in that 2nd is so huge. Puts the pressure back on Hewitt even though he's still a set up.

Nadal spanking Gasquet 6-3 6-0 in the World Group semis.

Spain vs. Serbia definitely the favourite for the final (unless Argentina manage to just beat Tipsarevic/Troicki twice and win the doubles, cos neither Nalbandian or JMDP are beating Novak)

That means Rafa vs. Novak again lol.

Novak not playing first day of the tie. Taking a rest.

Surely will play day 3 if Serbia are in strife.
