	ASWAD	I've seen worst tirads in tennis especially, so call McEnroe the king of this. Its great at times to see real human emotions. You at least sat down and apologize, behind u 100%....   Posted by ASWAD on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 4:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Peter	Let's face it, we all do things in the heat of our 'daily battles' that we regret.....and our our 'daily battles' are not on as dramatic a stage as the U.S. Open. You've always been respectful of the sport and I believe you realize your standing as a role-model to many. I knew you would issue a statement like this and I'm proud of you!    Posted by Peter on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 4:59 PM [Reply to this]

	WolvenHeart James Joseph Donald	Serena, I understand apologizing, but i really understand your response, especially in the heat of battle. Th judge made a bad call and there is no reviewing foot faults, and really i don't think they are not called with consistency. You think with all they equipment they have to call service fouls and line calls for the ball they could have a cam to show the foot position so you could challenge it like any other call. You are an inspiration to the sport, and your firey personality is part of it. I am still a huge fan. Go get 'em next time. -James   Posted by WolvenHeart on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 6:22 PM [Reply to this]

	Otha B.	Serena, You are still a great person and great tennis player.  We all make mistakes and I for one have responded in a negative manner before.  For me the main thing has been to do as you said "learn and grow". Keep playing because I enjoy watching you and Venus play.   Posted by Otha B. on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 7:14 PM [Reply to this]

	Prophetess BE	Serena you have done all that is required of you.  You made an error and you have repented of it.  I’m very proud of you and I know that God is too.  No one is perfect we all make mistakes; we have all sinned and come short.  When you ask for forgiven you are back in the good graces of God.  Don’t look back, keep going forward.  Put all those things behind you a reach for the stars.  They are so nigh to you.  You are a great person and the best female tennis player in the world.  It is because of you and Venus that I continue to enjoy the game.  Love you both. BE Blessed   Posted by Prophetess BE on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 7:38 PM [Reply to this]

	KEVIN G. KEVIN G.	Way to go Serena,we know you have integrity.You have many major titles ahead of you.I was sad because a I don't like to hear people say bad things about you, Venus or Tiger Woods,you three are an inspiration to many people,Black people in particular.We all love you,and know that's not how you conducted yourself,always grace,class,and beauty.                                                                            LUVYA,KEVIN G.   Posted by KEVIN G. on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 7:49 PM [Reply to this]

	Anthonystjoseph	I look up to the character that your parents Richard and Oracene have instilled in you and have and will support you throughout your career but I'm done watching them cheat and take from you ladies even though you've received a lot from the tennis world... I wrote in my current blog how I feel and I really love the enjoyment that you've given but I wont watch another tennis match on tv again...  That Justine 'NO HAND' Henin incident and Indian Wells, and Martina Navritalova talking about Richards happiness at wimbledon have just taken their toll on me... Good luck in all your endeavors and I will always admire and respect your entire family's accomplishments! ~Anthonystjoseph P.S.  I was so impressed as usual with how you handled that press conference   Posted by Anthonystjoseph on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 9:54 PM [Reply to this]

	KEVIN G. KEVIN G.	What did Martina say,I missed it.I have a lot of respect for her,she is the greatest of all time.Serena reminds me of her.   Posted by KEVIN G. on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 - 12:26 AM [Reply to this]

	Marcus Marcus Searcy sr.	I admit it was a bad call and you rightly deserved to be upset. its hard enough for blacks, let alone black women, to prove themselves. so yes its unfair to hold back greatness reguardless of color.   Posted by Marcus on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 9:54 PM [Reply to this]

	WE ARE FAMILY!	I have watched most of your matches, and followed you and Venus since she made it to her 1st US Open final.  I have always been extremely proud of the elegant way you and Venus have carried yourselves when others in the sport have not been as gracious.  As an African-American woman with 3 daughters, I have admired the role model you and Venus have given to our youth the past 10 years. Don't allow the media to make a mountain out of a molehill.  NO ONE is perfect, only Christ Jesus.  Someone will always have something negative to say.  Keep your head to the sky, and keep doing as you do.  Your true fans will ALWAYS be true! Be Blessed!   Posted by WE ARE FAMILY! on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 10:23 PM [Reply to this]

	Pamala Pamala Fizer	As I have written to espn,...cbs,...and the New York Times,... We are BORN with emotions. Ms. Serena Williams didn't have a "MELT-DOWN",...We don't melt,...only the "Evil WITCH OF THE WEST"!!! I have followed both of the sisters since the beginning of their careers. I have heard some of the most derogatory comments ever made about two of the BEST tennis players of ALL time!!! I have seen the injustices and the favoritism shown to opponents. There is always an excuse for other incompetent players,...but Venus and Serena are often spoken of as if they are a different species!!! Just as Jackie Robinson was told."You can't fight back"!!! Yes,...you can!!! Jehovah sits high and looks low. It was meant for that incident to happen. It brought out the REAL Monsters!!! The head referee was shown to be very doubtful about what really happened,...I didn't believe him. As a matter-of-fact,...I say it was all SABATOGE,...SABATOGE!!! And here in my NATIVE AMERICAN LAND,...CAUCASIANS ARE NO LONGER THE MAJORITY and it has caused THEM to "MELT-DOWN"!!!! To have a FATHER who dedicated his life for his daughters and a nuturing mother who lived where my Father's other children grew up,...Saginaw, Mich., HAS TO BE ALRIGHT!!! I wasn't raised by my Father,...but I honored HIM just the same. Serena,...the press conference was THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially,...the WEATHER Question!!!! I'm STILL laughing!!!! That was a defining moment in Tennis History!!!!!! I am a 53 year-old retired educator with 5 grown children. I taught my children,...and the thousands I taught,...to ALWAYS stand up for your rights,...especially when you ARE right,...and right will follow. Jehovah will replinish every dime they fined you,...and they wouldn't DARE ban you from future play!!!! They would have to get through BLACK AMERICA first!!!! From coast to coast,...We Raise the glass and make a TOAST!!! Serena amd Venus is the MOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BE BLESSED.

	1ST SON OF GOD	Considering what you’ve been through in the tennis world, I must say that you’re a strong woman!   I personally do not believe that you should apologize to anyone, because they’ve been cheating you from, DAY ONE!   I don’t even like the U.S & French Open, because their audiences are rude crude and down right disrespectful on every level towards their own, especially in the U.S.A.   They’re giving you a hefty fine, but what penalties will the chair umpire and that dishonest crooked linesman pay? Will the USTA apply the same rules towards them, as they’ve done to you….. Or will they remain the hypocrites that I’ve always known them too be?   The media and USTA are putting all the blame on you, when in fact, Stevie wonder can clearly see that you did not FOOT-FAULT!   Had that been Princess-Maria, then they would not have said a damn thing!   Tennis has not changed much, except that they allow Minorities to play, other than that, I don’t see how much they’ve changed, if you catch my drift!   Posted by 1ST SON OF GOD on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 - 12:21 AM [Reply to this]

	South Paw	We all have to learn from our downfalls I hope that you continue to strive for greatness I also so hope that the penalties will be bearable Sincerely Dave   Posted by South Paw on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 - 12:48 AM [Reply to this]

	Off Que Productions	Serena, I've always been a fan of yours and your family.  I saw your interview on CNN this morning.  Please reconsider your position about anger.  Passion and Strength can also be directed towards other emotions.  Words are very powerful.  WWJD?  Peace!! P.S.  I'm getting your book today.   Posted by Off Que Productions on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 - 12:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Queen	I have to say that I am very proud of the fact that you admitted your fault. It takes a real woman to do that!! God bless you! Keep praying and God will give you the strength you need to move pass this. So you GO GIRL and do what you do best.........KEEP WINNING!!!   Posted by Queen on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 - 9:32 PM [Reply to this]

	Sneaky P	Much love to you Serena, one little mistake will never overshadow what you really mean to the black community, as a trailblazing pioneer  and especially a role model.  You and ur sis should be just as revered, if not already as Tiger, Oprah, and Michael.  You apologized no need for a second thought.  Stay Strong!    Posted by Sneaky P on Thursday, September 17, 2009 - 9:37 AM [Reply to this]

	The Unhappy Reader	Serena, YOU deserve an apology...   Posted by The Unhappy Reader on Sunday, September 20, 2009 - 3:56 AM [Reply to this]
