“The guy said, ‘Hit the net like any Negro would.’ I was shocked,” Williams said Monday. “I couldn’t believe it. I had to do a double take. I think I hit a double fault on that point.”

“Every time I missed a shot or a serve, he would say, ‘That’s the way to do it,’” she said. “He was calling, ‘Foot fault.’ He was saying, ‘Hit in the net.’ … I mean, who does this? That’s so elementary. You don’t do this on a professional level.”

“I shouldn’t have let it bother me, because growing up in Compton we had drive-bys,” said Williams, who was raised in Los Angeles. “I guess that’s what my dad prepared me for, but I’m not going to stand for it.”

Williams claims that Winton made at least one racist remark before he was ejected.

Now the guy told ESPN, that he didn’t say what she claimed he did:

”I said she was lazy, that she didn’t run for balls — stuff like that — but I did not say the N-word or use any racial language,” Donald Winton told The Miami Herald when reached by telephone Tuesday. “I’m at my wit’s end about this. I didn’t say a word the whole first set; … in the second set I said some stuff and I guess she didn’t like it, but I didn’t say what she said I said.”

That’s kind of odd, because fans and security confirmed a man heckled Williams inappropriately. Read more @ ESPN >>
