I saw this match.

Serena was not geting her first serves in and Clijsters was pounding the ball as well as Serena. Thing was, Serena was not used to having the ball returned so much. She was gased. Plus, Serena was stalling during her serves. Clijsters pushed the pace to keep Serena tired. It was a great chess match won by Clijsters and if you watch the video, it sure as hell does look like Serena said a few choice things to the line judge. Of course the announcers claim the foot fault that caused the whole mess didn't take place....but come one. They only showed one angle of it.....aka network drama......plus, they have mic's down there on the tennis court....they could have played the conversational exchange .....but they didn't.

The point is Serena was the network fav't...but Clijsters had her beat before the final point. It sucks it came to that because it leaves, "what if's" on the court.
