Time to pay up: Williams, Troicki fined $10K at Wimbledon

The No. 1-seeded Williams’ fine was from her second-round 6-7 (7), 6-2, 6-4 victory over fellow American Christina McHale at Centre Court on Friday. “I had a lot of chances”. She just was playing great.

This isn’t first time Williams has taken her frustrations out on a racket.

‘I can not say it is positive to break a racket, but what is positive is that she expresses that anger, that kind of refusal to lose.

So adding up their singles championships and throwing in the five doubles titles they won together (plus one mixed doubles title for Serena), the Sisters Williams have combined for 17 Wimbledon titles. “I don’t want to go too long without cracking a racket”.

“I was out there playing for my life at that point, trying to play to stay in the tournament”. With 21 Grand Slam wins and more than a handful of endorsements to her name, Williams is the highest paid female athlete in the world, according to Forbes. “I’m a little behind this year, so it was good”.

“You’re disgusting, you know what you did”.

As for the racket, Williams signed it and gave it to a fan. She is the world’s highest-paid female athlete, with Forbes setting her income previous year at $77 million.

Afterward, Williams said she knew she would lose some money and joked about having not yet met her quota for harming rackets this season.

“He should be the one who is fined”, Troicki said (via the BBC) after the match about Torella, who he called “horrible” and the “worst umpire ever in the world”. It was not clear, exactly, who changed that ruling, but Torella announced the score had become 40-30, crediting Ramos-Vinolas with an ace and pushing him to match point.
