Famous People Are Crazy, Pt. 1

In the semifinals of the US Open this past weekend, Serena Williams (probably a favorite to win the tournament) was playing Kim Clijsters, who just came back from a 28-month maternity leave. Early in the first set, Serena was docked a point for slamming her racket against the court, a big no-no in the always-classy sport of tennis. Later in the second set, Kim found herself up 6-5, trying to break Serena to make it to the finals. At 15-30, Serena was called for a foot fault; she then freaked out, approached the lineswoman who called her foot fault, and apparently threatened her in a very unsportsmanlike way. Anyhow, the lineswoman, the chair umpire, and the tournament director all quickly came together and docked Serena another point for unsportsmanlike conduct, thus giving Kim two points (one for the foot fault, one for the unsportsmanlike conduct call), and the win. CRAZY!

I guess my description wasn't completely necessary, because you can see it all in the clip below...
