Following today's fourth round defeat at the hands of Marion Bartoli, the blog says good riddance to the American. Here are three unsavoury moments in the career of Ms Williams.
1. At the 2009 US Open she was on the verge of defeat to returnee Kim Clijsters. She foot-faulted and then shouted towards the line judge: ""I swear to God I'm fucking going to take this fucking ball and shove it down your fucking throat, you hear that? I swear to God." Williams, who was already on a warning for an earlier indiscretion, lost the point and, as a result, the match. A farcical way for her opponent to announce her return to the sport after a two year lay off with a US Open final appearance.

2. Former Wimbledon champion Michael Stich accused her of feigning injury to help unsettle her opponent at the 2007 Wimbledon Championships. Her miraculous recovery prompted Stich to say: "You're either injured or you're not. I'm not sure what I saw last night." Little wonder the German made these comments following Williams' inability to walk due to injury followed by some incredible movement around the court from the apparently disabled Serena.
3. At this year's Wimbledon she complained about being stuck out on Court Number two. Williams said: "They like to put us on Court 2, me and Venus, for whatever reason," Williams said after beating Simona Halep of Romania, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1. "I haven’t figured it out yet. Maybe one day we’ll figure it out." Many dream of playing at Wimbledon but for Serena and her ego it is not enough. She needs to be the centre of attention at all times. Ah, de dums!
