Serena bursted out on chair umpire Eva Asderaki, as she was facing a break point while serving in the first game of the second set, where Williams hit a forehand that she celebrated with a yell of ‘Come on!’. However, chair umpire Asderaki applied the hindrance rule, noting the yell came while Stosur got her racket on the ball, as Stosur was awarded with the point. Serena Williams was fined abusing for violating the code of championship.
The 29-year-old Serena has played well in this season, coming back from her injury. She had won two titles at 2011 western & southern open and Roger Cup, before she lost US Open 2011 finals to Samantha Stosur. The US Open officials said that, Serena has to change her behavior, where she has not changed since 2009 US Open semi final incident with line umpire, playing against Kim Clijsters.
