[edit] On the line
Is it worthy to include her autobiography "On the Line"in the article? Ô (talk) 22:22, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 3.6.1 2009 US Open semi-final controversy
In this youtube[1] video, the CBS commentators state that the foot fault shouldn't have been called. At :42 into the video the commentator says "I don't see it at all" in regard to the foot fault. at about :53 the commentator says "you can't call that there". These comments were by John McEnroe, whose on-air track record shows a strong bias in favor of American players, and therefore lacks any and all objectivity in this case.
There is also the issue of what was said. In this Australian TV telecast,The line judge tells the officials that Serena said "I will kill you" (1:43). Sarena refutes this here (1:48). This video which also contains the foot fault. Sarena's words and actions ultimately lead up to her loosing the match; however, there is also the possibility that this line judge really didn't like Sarena giving her the rare "foot fault" call.

The summary doesn't say what Williams actually said; it just uses the phrase "abusive language". It seems to me that it would be better to just quote what she said.74.219.149.67 (talk) 23:31, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
"Such calls are uncommon" seems to violate the NPOV and it seems like an original research to me. I don't see how [78] changes that. Can the author please explain?

[edit] Records and achievements
I'm unsure about the entry for "Most years in between US Open titles." I would assume this is in reference to her doubles titles, as she won the US Open singles in 2002. If so, that should be noted. Although, after a cursory look at the US Open Women's Singles Champions list, it looks like the 6 year span between her 02 and 08 wins would also be the longest time between US Open titles (in the Open Era). The only longer gap would appear to be Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman in 1911 and 1919.
I'll leave it for an editor to clarify and decide which of those should be included in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JLecru (talk • contribs) 15:32, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
