Possible Fine for Serena Williams

58797726The consequences for her vocal outburst at the 2009 U.S. Open has not been determined yet. Serena Williams is unlikely to receive a sanction which bans her from any play:

“… “I don’t think (an Australian Open ban) would make much sense, because it would penalize the people handing out the punishment,” Francesco Ricci Bitti told The Associated Press on Saturday. “For the Grand Slam committee to exclude her from a Grand Slam doesn’t seem likely.”

The Grand Slam committee is composed of Ricci Bitti and the four Grand Slam presidents.”
