That kind of anger towards an official should be penalized for the good of the sport...the timing of it was Serena's fault, not the referee

as for the double standard sayers. shut up. there have been foot faults called this year and she should have moved on. but she lost her coo

There are rules to the sport and professionals especially should abide by them. Period.

No, it wasn't a foot fault and she waited to long to make the call. suspicious...

She was over the top, and the rules are the rules even if it's a bad call. One wonders why all the rage...?

Sportsmanship is VERY important. Grow up.

While I love watching the sisters play, Serena is an intelligent woman and knew better than to act like that.

It ain't the call, it's the reaction. Humans make calls and calls get missed. You want plays to go on & on (NFL), bring on instant replay.

Serina's manner was extremely threatening and coming from South Africa I know threatening! It was sad coming from such a classy player.

she deserves a year suspension

Audible profanity is code violation. 2nd violation of match is game point. She recd 1st violation for breaking racket end of 1st set.

Her verbal abuse of a line judge was not an example fitting a professional athlete.

Serena knew she was going to be beat. Instead of acting like a champion and accept defeat, she chose to throw the game. Bad form!

Serena completely lost her composure. Her behavior was unacceptable for a tennis player.

Yes, Serena knows the rules. Abuse of linespeople should never be tolerated -- McEnroe was defaulted out of the Australian Open for this.

You'd think she would know by now how important manners are in tennis, as well as your expertise and skill. Nobody likes a sore loser.

It's past time for all athletes to clean up their language and actions. A lot of fans need to do so as well. It's called respect!

The judge was right. don't matter when you break the rules. So i would call it when it happens. You break the rules you should pay for it

Very disappointing that Serena would sink to that level at a highly visible match. I'm a big fan, but very disappointed in her actions.

The foot fault was petty but Serena's response to it was over the top and seriously crossed the line. It was inexcusable.

Serena already had displayed bad sportsmanship and unusual though a foot fault is, her behavior toward the line judge was inexcusable.

The kind of beligerence she showed in and after the match is unbecoming of any human toward another.

Fined maybe, but where the instant replay, did she actually make the fault? Or was the judge wrong?

Phil's course management is always his undoing.

There's always hope. Famous saying "You have to be in it, to win it"....and he was....how about all you armchair putters!?!

Phil has my vote to win this.

He appears to have the "stuff" and plenty of time and tries left to use it.

No one has ever been so close and not won - it will come. He is resilient, and he has the right stuff.

Sorry, Phil. He can be good but I think he left it at Winged Foot on the 18th hole.

It's hard to say 'yes' when he is being defined by his fades at the end of the Open, rather than his surges.

No doubt he will win a US Open. No need to panic.

Once he gets his putting back, he will win. I say by 2012, he gets this major.

Phil may never win an open unless everyone in front of him collapses worse than he does and he is a master at that. He gets all the

Not unless he learns to make 3-footers.

You all, (the media) just need to stop focusing on him & causing added pressure.

No, he is a gagger and it showed on those 2 4 footers he missed for par late

Don't count him out yet. He's still young, has great talent, and is developing much needed restraint as he matures.

Like Payne Stewart, Phil's bad luck will finally run out and he'll get one.

This year as it times past he was close. Next year he will celebrate appropriately with Amy and will hand her that trophy for all to see.

He's good....
