NEWS: SERENA & VENUS WIN DOUBLES FINAL AT U.S. OPEN

September 15th, 2009

Serena Williams and Venus Williams pose with the championship trophy after defeating Cara Black of Zimbabwe and Liezel Huber in the Women’s Doubles final of the 2009 U.S. Open on Monday (September 14) in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City.

This win comes a couple of days after Serena was disqualified from a match over the weekend. She recently wrote about it on her official blog:

I understand that I may have let some of you all down in regards to my behavior during the semifinals of the US OPEN. I make no excuses in regards to my word choice that night, but I am sincerely sorry. I hope that you all are able to forgive me. Also, thank you all for your continued support & understanding. It means the world to me that you all are still in my corner as I stand on the line, after displaying actions outside of my character. [ READ MORE ]

    Just for the record John McEnroe used to throw tantrums on the court and nothing happened, no penalty, no fines. My my how things have changed for the game of tennis.

    Ok Serena apologized, let’s move on.

    Ahhhhhhhhhh, Serena,I hate to break it down to you like this,but I am not in your corner,I cannot continue to support you after your trifling tirade at the U.S.Open,I will support Venus,but I can no longer support your big ole donkey butt,You are waaaaaaaaaay too spoiled and it`s about time somebody stood up to you.You don`t need support anyway,you need that New York Times bestselling book called Anger Management.

    I want french fries with no french

    Man, #17 shut up. Im so sick of people talking about Serena throwing a fit, so what, get over it.

    Damn tennis players be cursing people out all the freaking time. If you watch the damn US Open yesterday, you would have seen Roger Federer cursing out the judges or linesman, whatever the hell you wanna call them. Anyway, I didnt see people making a big got damn deal about that, but let it be Serena and everybody wanna cry and run they mouth. They only do it to Serena because she happens to not just be one of THE GREATEST female tennis players but a black woman as well.

    And you know what, she dont need your support. She dont need some fickle ass fan like you who cant understand that playing a game where some stupid asian lady who made Serena lose a point because her eyes were too tight to see that she made the wrong damn call, which understandbly was the reason why Serena was pissed. If you cant understand why Serena was mad, then kiss her big donkey ass. She dont need you, she got millions of fans like me, no matter what bad moment she has, that will always support her because we understand that sometimes you just have a bad day and lose your cool. She is f*cking human, just like me and you.

    And you know what else, she freaking apologized, build a got damn bridge and get over it. F*ck!

    Damn,Serena it`s gonna be hard for me to say goodbye to you,because I can no longer root for you in tennis,please somebody ,play BOYZ II MEN`s,classic song,’ It`s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday ,”as I wipe away the tears. Oh,girl,the memories we shared,I was a supporter of yours,the first year you came out,remember and you was rocking that raggedy weave,you got at Mister Chang`s Chinese store,and you know I`ve been with you through all your ups and downs, I could forgive your angry outburst but when you threatened to kick that old woman judge`s butt during your tennis match and toss her old butt up in the air,that was the last straw,
