Despite his loss to Juan Martin del Potro during their US Open championship match, Roger Federer is still pretty good. In case you haven&#8217;t seen it yet, check out this shot he made during his semifinal match against Novak Djokovic on Sunday.

<p>Some are calling this the greatest shot in Tennis history. We don&#8217;t know about that, but it&#8217;s definitely the best between the legs shot we&#8217;ve ever seen. But is that type of shot even legal? &#8230;Federer really doesn&#8217;t give a shit either way.</p>

<p>&#8220;I have a great partner,&#8221; Venus Williams said.<span id="more-11436"></span> &#8220;I believe in her just as much as I believe in myself.&#8221; </p>
<p>The sisters beat the defending champions Cara Black and Liezel Huber 6-2, 6-2.</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re bigger and stronger than us,&#8221; Huber said. &#8220;They served bigger than us and you could see it all today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Surprisingly, Serena lasted the entire match without killing a line judge. Looks like she&#8217;s learning to control her temper.</p>

<p>Before the loss Federer had won 40 consecutive matches at Flushing Meadows, including 5 consecutive titles. </p>
<p>Federer is obviously past his prime and nowhere near as good as he used to be. In his prime, no way he loses to a nobody like Porto. </p>

<p>On Monday morning Serena Williams finally apologized to her fans and the line judge she threatened to kill during her 6-4, 7-5 semifinal loss to Kim Clijsters at the US Open.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to sincerely apologize FIRST to the lines woman, Kim Clijsters, the USTA and mostly tennis fans everywhere for my inappropriate outburst,&#8221; Williams said. <span id="more-11401"></span>It was released by the U.S. Tennis Association about a half-hour before Williams and her sister, Venus, played in the women&#8217;s doubles final, which they won for their 10th Grand Slam title as a team.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a woman of great pride, faith and integrity, and I admit when I&#8217;m wrong,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I need to make it clear to all young people that I handled myself inappropriately and it&#8217;s not the way to act &#8212; win or lose, good call or bad call in any sport, in any manner. I like to lead by example. We all learn from experiences both good and bad, I will learn and grow from this, and be a better person as a result.&#8221;</p>
<p>Williams was fined $10,000 for her actions and she still faces additinal fines and suspensions. </p>

<p>Unseeded and unranked Kim Clijsters upset the defending US Open Champion, Serena Williams, during their semifinal match on Saturday, 6-4, 7-5.</p>
<p>While losing the match, Williams went crazy and almost attacked a line judge for calling a fault. <span id="more-11337"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;I swear to God I&#8217;m [expletive] going to take this [expletive] ball and shove it down your [expletive] throat, you hear that? I swear to God, Williams was heard telling the official.&#8221;</p>
<p>When Serena continued to rant, Clijsters was rewarded a penalty point.</p>
<p>&#8220;She was called for a foot fault, and a point later, she said something to a line umpire, and it was reported to the chair, and that resulted in a point penalty,&#8221;  referee Brian Earley explained. &#8220;And it just happened that point penalty was match point. It was a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct.&#8221;</p>
<p>Serena&#8217;s reputation has taken a big hit because of her actions during this match. She&#8217;s an experienced player and she should know by now how to keep her temper under control. It&#8217;s too bad this whole &#8220;temper tantrum&#8221; takes away from the great play of Kim Clijsters.</p>

Security at the US Open failed big time on Wednesday night when a fan ran onto the court and kissed Rafael Nadal on the cheek.
For the most part, Nadal just laughed it off.

<p>The fan, Noam U. Aorta, will be charged with third-degree criminal trespass and interfering with a professional sporting event. He faces up to one year in jail and $5,000 in fines. But atleast he was able to kiss his favorite tennis player. At the end of the day, we&#8217;d say it was all worth it.</p>

<p>&#8220;So I am surprised that I&#8217;m sitting here talking to you right now, but I&#8217;m very happy, and, you know, flattered that I get to do that.&#8221; </p>
<p>Serena should have no problem avenging big sis&#8217;s loss. We&#8217;re predicting a sweep.</p>
