serena was classy to kim after the match. it's almost like a switch turns on in serena. she has no reputation for this behavior. so you see her flip from being absolutely furious to extending her hand and going around the net to kim. that's interesting because the only other precedent i was thinking about this in the last hour, is this happened to jimmy connors about 15 years ago where he was called out for a penalty and then because of his cursing and arguing, they just called the match. and he stormed off the court. he didn't go back around and shake the hand of his opponent. >> when you look at, though, in all fairness, what serena -- how she reacted. let's take a look how she reacted in front of the podium and the microphones when she was questioned after the match. take a listen. >> i think she said i would kill you. i was like what? i had misheard. she never said that so that was just something -- it was like -- i was like whoa. wait a minute. let's not -- because i'm not that way, so. she's like no, i didn't say that. she said something else. i said oh, okay i get

open by serena williams and about what kanye west did at the awards show. >> i hear he is a nice guy by people who know him, but that was really weird. i thought that was strange, and, you know, serena williams, i was there, and i watched her get very angry, and i do not know why she got so angry. it was a terrible call. it was not a foot south. the serve was perfectly good. she was called for a foul, and now she is apologizing, and white issue apologizing? i do not get it -- it was not a foot foul. i take the opposite view on a lot of things.

saturday, a stressed-out serena williams couldn't keep her cool on the court. first, she was warned about smashing her racket. but it was her outburst over a foot fault that was the final straw for tournament officials who awarded a point to williams' oppone opponent. >> i didn't say i would kill you! are you serious? >> reporter: that lost point cost williams the match. >> i used to have a real temper. i've gotten a lot better. i know you don't believe me. i used to be worse. >> reporter: tennis tie raids with players like john mcenroe and jimmy connors were once as much a part of the sport as the game itself. >> answer my question! the question, jerk! >> reporter: but sensational scenes like these have become a lot more rare in recent years. one reason players are on their best behavior these days, there's a lot less to argue about en technology has the final say. >> very close. nadal thinking about a challenge. >> insta replay has taken the roar out of the tennis players. the answer is there. it is absolutely 100% black and white. >> reporter: the fans are a

they look at serena. and they say, i want to be her. beeping. >> i am honored to have people looking at me saying, i want to be like serena williams. that's pretty cool. i never felt like i was in a position that people would aspire to be like me. that's why i want to apologize toveryone out there. it's greater than just a tennis match. it's greater than -- you know. it's greater than just the sport. i've tried to influence a lot of people. that's why i wrote the book "on the line," because everyone -- i'm not perfect. i'm human. no human is perfect, since jesus. so, with that being said, everyone makes mistakes. and in my book, "on the line," i put my whole self on the line, with the mistakes i made in the past. and just learning from them. and there could be a new chapter coming up about this. >> you give yourself some material. do you think this is over? do you think they'll take action against you? shocking mary carillo. she was saying, she should be suspended. this is as bad i've seen, from a woman. obviously, a qualifier there. >>

why did serena blow up? >> well, look.ven john mcenrow said he could not defend the indefensible in terms of her actions. she lost it in the heat of kmp tigs and there's a shame and irony to this. the shame is the match itself was amazing. serena williams against kim clijsters. looking to be the third mom to win a grand slam tournament and women's tennis is in very bad shape and we are talking about it now and we wouldn't be talking about it on the basis of the match which was terrific match. >> yeah. we have been hoping that melanie oudin would infuse it. >> williams represents the best and the worst in tennis. the best because she is so amazing an enso many fans but she plays a part time schedule and still dominates the sport so it undermines the ranking system and this, of course, just serena williams at the absolute worst and lost it. >> well, let's look at what serena did. she tried to explain the actions after the match. let's listen together. >> i she she said i would kill you and i was like, what? wait a minute. th
