Serena just got JOBBED. She shouldn't play the Open again.

Even McEnroe and Austin were aghast at the calls against her. Obvious, blatant bullshit calls against her. It's embarassing.

1. Did you hear

Jennifer get booed? I would have been booing at the top of my lungs after she said she didn't care what the tennis looked like as long as she won. I do NOT like anything about her. Serena was robbed.

4. Outrageous is the word.

I am so angry. The Williams sisters have brought so much excitement to women's tennis - and they both get flat out robbed - time and time again. How can the USTA countenance this? I want to see some heads roll, some explanation. Something. It's all so - Rethuglican.

5. I agree about the sisters.

I am glad they have some competition now, it is much more exciting, but this is simply wrong. The thing that killed me was the Austen said that she could not believe Capriati did not say something, she was standing there. I remember several years ago a French man who has since retired lose a set by correcting a call against his opponent. Gads, this really stinks.

7. Until I saw Jen's post game smirk, I sort of dug her and her comeback

story. No more. She's an ungracious pig. Serena will embarass her next time they play. Lindsay will embarass her first.

8. Incredible, I just saw the lowlights

Some of those balls were inside the line, not just on the line!

Brilliant me, when Serena cruised in the first set I decided the rout was on and didn't watch the rest, even though I know these two have a long history of 3 setters.

9. I didn't see the match but...

...I saw a replay later on the news. It was in slow motion and it was so obvious that the ball was in. Serena was furious--as she should have been.
