Yay to Kim for winning the US Open. Super cool that a mom was able to return to the sport and climb right back up to the top of the pile. I heard one commentator joking about how Federer had taken a little time off after the birth of his twins, but that Clijsters comeback was far more impressive.
Boo-Hiss to Serena Williams. That was SOOOOO unclassy. I've always preferred Serena to Venus (Serena seemed more gracious when she won). But Hello? National TV, world stage, and you're breaking rackets and dropping F-Bombs left and right? Insane. And I think the "penalty" leveled by the USTA is a joke. I looked it up, and Serena gets $350K for making it to (and losing) the semi-finals. So the USTA fines her $10K. Big deal.
