Looks like Jennifer Capriati beat Serena Williams in a close match. Capriati got an undeserved critical point by one of the most major fubars I've seen a chair umpire ever make. Williams held a press conference shortly after bitching & moaning.
The Williams sisters already think there is a conspiracy against them. For tennis fans it will be interesting where this thing is going to go.

UGGGGGGGHHH!!!!I knew something like this would happen,and that,when it did,the ugly shit-skins would screech "conspiracy".And,sooner or later,thay WILL screech "racism".I'm only surprised they haven't yet(Big ,ugly,true racist baby daddy richard has,of course,though,naturally,there really wasn't any).But,the two baboons will,sooner or later,you can bet on that.
What I would give for there to be a conspiracy against every single member of that pack of sub-humans,BECAUSE THEY DON'T DESERVE TO BE POISONING A WONDERFUL GAME,THAT WHITEY INVENTED,THAT THE GORILLAS NEVER COULD HAVE!!!!ANYTHING TO KEEP THEM OUT!!!!

Watch just about any televised tennis match, and you will see several bad calls that are exposed by the slow-motion replay. Just like in football and other sports. The pros hit the ball so hard it's hard for the linesmen and umpires not to make numerous mistakes in the course of a match.
And Jennifer is right. She's had a lot of bad calls made against her in key situations in previoius matches. As a pro, you know you will get a few such calls. You just have to keep your composure and and your focus so that you don't lose the match because of a breakdown in concentration. It's a test of mental strength.
Serena herself admitted that the one bad call didn't cost her the match. As she said, she should have closed Capriati out in straight sets by winning the second set. The bad call came early in the third set. It may have cost Serena a service break, but she broke Capriati right back to get back on serve. She still made plenty more errors later in the set that finally cost her the match.
What an end to a miserable year for the Williams sisters. Neither one wins a major title this year. And in the US Open, Venus is beaten in the fourth round, and Serena is beaten in the quarter-finals. Neither one even gets close to the final match, much less wins it.
There are so many attractive and talented young Russian women now playing the game, that the Williamses will never again dominate the game as they once did for a couple years.

Edberg,
Did you actually see what transpired? I know there are bad calls in tennis, but that had to be one of most bizarre things I've seen in tennis.

I saw the match and the ump was clearly wrong about 3 calls. So what, happens all the time in tennis.
Remember John "you cannot be serious"! McEnroe?
