IT'S STILL NOT ABOUT YOU, SERENA

Serena Williams was accentuating the positive on Sunday after her return to singles action for the first time since her rant [This was no rant! It was a physical threat.]at a lineswoman at the U.S. Open last month.

The world number two was fined a record $10,000 for the verbal assault on the official during her semi-final loss to Belgian Kim Clijsters in New York, and could still face further punishment after an investigation into the incident [Not likely. Tennis officials would rather look the other way.].

Williams, who has since apologised [ belatedly] to the official, could face a grand-slam ban if the incident is deemed a "major offence" by investigators.

The Australian and French Open champion said she thought it would be inappropriate to comment about the investigation while it was continuing, but suggested that her enthusiasm for the game was undimmed by the incident.

Serena, this isn't about YOU!

It's OUR beautiful game and you have made it ugly!
