Video: Serena Williams destroys racket in loss




31 years old tennis player, Serena Williams, lost her cool on Wednesday when she was knocked out of the Australian Open by U.S. teen Sloane Stephens, 19, causing her to vehemently destroy her racket on the tennis court. Serena was reportedly fined $1,500 for the racket-abuse code violation, the largest sum charged to any female player at this Australian Open event. Serena went down 2-1 in the quarter final deciding match. Stephens outplayed Williams, whose movement and serves had been slowed by a back injury, and beat the 15-time Grand Slam champion 3-6, 7-5, 6-4.In her career the tennis star has won five Australian Open titles, won five Wimbledon’s, a U.S. Opens triumph along with one French Open win.  Serena is currently trying to establish herself as the greatest female tennis player ever by chasing down Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 titles. Yesterday's loss ends a run of 20 consecutive wins since her loss at the French Open Grand Slam tournament. Williams was hoping to win the Australian Open for a sixth time and land a 16th grand slam title. But Stephens stopped her. One can understand her frustration.
