    Serena Williams facing prospect of suspension
    View quote in context »
    Jon Wertheim, of Sports Illustrated, the American magazine, wrote: "Serena got a very shaky call, but that hardly justified her reaction. She messed up. She apologised, albeit belatedly. She got fined. She took some of her aggression out on Liezel Huber and Cara Black in the doubles final. Not a proud moment for her or for tennis, but let’s move on. If the ITF suspends her or fines her further, it will be a miscarriage of justice." One is loath to disagree with such an eminent writer, but Williams’s actions cannot be summarily swept under the carpet. Full Article at Times Online
    Serena got a very shaky call, but that hardly justified her reaction. She messed up. She apologised, albeit belatedly. She got fined.

If the ITF suspends her or fines her further, it will be a miscarriage of justice.
