I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The Williams sisters are tennis’ equivalent of some trash talking NBA jerkoff.

At one point it looked like Sharapova could work her way into the match after hitting Williams on the bounce with an overhead early in the second set. An ESPN close-up showed Williams glaring at the Russian afterwards and apparently muttering “****king bitch,” with subsequent re-runs of Williams getting hit lacking the zoom close-up profanity. Afterwards Williams make a few unforced errors and Sharapova found her range with a couple winners, but the American then quickly put a stop to any semblance of a comeback from the Russian.

“I think she was going for me,” Serena said of the overhead. “I think she was going for me and I can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same thing. At that point, you gotta either take your opponent out — to survive. At that point it was like, take me out — it was her only hope. I definitely would have done the same thing. I didn’t see the replay. But for the record, I didn’t say any bad words. Someone said I said the “B” word, but I didn’t. I said something else. I won’t say what I said. It was no curse words, and nothing negative toward her.”

The camera doesn’t lie, baby, and it wouldn’t be opposite to your grunting snarling bad-ass ghetto attitude.
