Serena Williams laughs off swimsuit malfunction... after being fined £50,000 for outburst




Double fault: Serena Williams slips out of her bathing suit as she body boards with friends on a beach in Barbados
Yesterday, the world number one was hit with a record penalty in women’s tennis for her US Open outburst.
Serena was fined £50,000 and given a suspended ban from Flushing Meadows over the next three years for the threats she directed at a line judge who foot-faulted her during her semi-final against Kim Clijsters.
While an immediate suspension was never likely to materialise, the fine, which could double if Williams commits another major misdemeanour at a grand slam event, was lower than had been widely expected.
