Tennis: Tempers Flare As Serena Williams Loses to Sam Stosur in the US Open

Already being outplayed by Sam Stosur in the U.S. Open final, the last thing Serena Williams needed was to lose a game for yelling during a point.

That’s exactly what happened early in the second set, leading to an argument between Williams and the chair umpire, a scene less ugly than – but reminiscent of – the American’s tirade two years ago at the same tournament. In the end, Stosur beat Williams, pulling off a 6-2, 6-3 upset Sunday for her first Grand Slam title.
Stosur became the first Australian woman to win a major championship since Evonne Goolagong Cawley at Wimbledon in 1980.
But the highlight of Stosur’s career is likely to be remembered for 13-time major champion Williams’ latest dispute with an official at Flushing Meadows.
