fun(?) fact: the Serena - Capriati '04 match is what led to implementing the hawk-eye challenge system for the players.

I’m not Serena’s fan, but the USO 2004 match was ridiculous! They definitely took away so many points from her! Shame on Capriati, the Umpire, and the Linesman!

In 2004 she was robbed. Then the public booed Capriati during the on-court interview and she had the audacity to say it was not a big deal, because Serena still won the game…well, this video shows she didn’t, the game went unfairly to Capriati and that break of serve was enough for her to win the match.

she has the most iconic dramas 💀

If you put the 2004 moment in the same context with the 2009 and 2018 ones, it feels weird and awkward... In 2004 she wouldve been absolutely right to have an outburn because those decisions were ridiculous, so wrong on some obvious in shots... And I think she handled it quite good

The way the crowd treated Osaka was disgusting

2004 US open was very unfair to her

Wow. Serena actually got so screwed in 2004 US Open wtf

“You owe me an apology”. Her best line

Say what you want about serena williams,win or lose it's never boring watching her play.

The 2004 match was insanely unjust in regards to Serena. The other three years, Serena caused the drama and then continued to fan the flames with her behavior.

This compilation is EPIC!!! Enjoyed every second of it

In 2004 serena was absolutely correct . Not so much in 2011 and 2018 . Although injustice did happen with her few times but sometimes serena was also very much wrong.

This US Open is really the only tournament where Serena has serious issues. She breaks rackets at other events but never goes batshit crazy like at the US Open.

Great video. I have seen these moments many times but it is nice to have them in one video. Despite the controversy. Always at the US Open as well. Did well to actually win the tournament as many times as she has.

Anyone who knows the rules in tennis knows that Serena was dead wrong in 2018. That's why it was so frustrating to see so many people (especially in America) who at best are casual tennis fans defend her disgraceful behaviour

in 2004 she was unfairly treated, the rest was her own fault

2:00 that ball was soooo INNNN...what’s wrong with the chief referee😂

So glad she’s retiring. About damn time. Time to open the field for more up and coming talent. Used to be a fan of hers until watching these few incidents that occurred because of her attitude.

That’s real nice they are all getting along I swear Serena and Venus look so much alike I really have to look at them when they show a head shot thanks for sharing

I’ll give her 2004, but 2009, 2011, and 2018 were all on her.

Americans went really experimental with denim in the 2000s (Serena, Britney and Justin)

The drama that she gave us in the years is one of the reason because she is my absolute favourite

Serena: "I didn't say I'd kill you." Woman in the stands: "Yeah you did!" LMAO

How can someone argue that Serena wasn't wrong at the 2011 one? And obviously, 2009 and 2018 don't need any discussion.

These moments are truly iconic. Ironically enough, moments like this have only added to her legend. No one, and I mean no one, has ever fought like Serena Williams on a tennis court. Her will to win is unparalleled. I don’t always support her actions, but I understand why she does it. She wants to win so badly and at all costs. That’s why she has the most slams in the open-era and that’s why she’s the GOAT. People can say a lot of things about Serena Williams, but one thing that cannot be questioned is she is a phenomenal competitor.

all the matches drama happen only when the match scores doesn’t goes for Serena …

Even with all the drama she has “caused” in this tournament (looking at you Capriati-) I still can’t live without a 23 grand slam legend

Wow, the umpiring in the Capriati match was unbelievably bad. Mother Teresa would've thrown her racket in that one.

Caprioti should have been ashamed of herself. I’m a professional athlete. You want to win, but this was ridiculous. Capriati is a liar. That comment she made at the end was ridiculous.

Still amazed how the umpire's chair didn't crumble after Ramos called that game penalty. Balls of steel, in front of that unhinged US Open crowd.

Great compilation 👌

It’s crazy!!!! That was so fucking innnnnnnnnnnn

the unattractive inside comment cracks me up EVERY time, so funny the way she said it :D

A true champion knows when to back off.

2004 was so wrong, 2009 may have been the wrong call, but if she did in fact say she was gonna kill the umpire then the verbal abuse warning is correct in technicality, 2011 is correct in terms of ruling but if i was stosur i would've just let her have it tbh, 2018 is sort of correct, i understand that maybe serena couldn't have seen the coaching, but fact of the matter is patrick did coach her, and ppl have to understand that umpires have to call what they see, they can't just think oh serena never calls the coach so it should be fine, it's a professional sport in which rules need to be upheld and it's a shame it led to osaka's poor treatment, but serena also definitely dragged it on afterward to a very odd extent, and the verbal abuse call was probably justified considering how much and how long she was ripping into carlos, at that point you need to give a code otherwise it affects players on the court and affects the umpires ability to do his or her job. i gwt we all have favourite tennis players but it's the rules and you don't get a bypass on them no matter how many slams you've won, it's just the way it is.

Felt bad for her in2004, but then she becomes the “KAREN” of Tennis.

Venus was the class act in the family

watching Serena's dramas always makes me laughing..

We didn’t need reminders 😩

18:00 her couch ruined that game tbf…. I’m surprised she didn’t fire him long ago

This is the night when Serena was mugged. Jennifer would always take it any way she could.

People act like she's the only person that's ever gotten bad calls.

Interesting to hear Serena demanding an apology. When she found out that the umpire was correct about the coaching, did she apologise?

Capriati, Girl I-

Vs Capriati in 2004 was NOT in the final

The funny thing is ,she always did her crazy stunts ,when most of the time she was losing...

A lot of the shots Capriati saw it. Poor sportsmanship on her part. Sorry no respect for Capriati. And I’m someone who doesn’t like Serena’s poor sportsmanship in other occasions. Serena got robbed on this one

You never cease to trigger me… 😫😫😫

That last match point...Capriati didn't "create" the point, no, she took it away from Serena. And that's just cruel, bc otherwise, she wouldn't have won.

I love you, Serena

its hard to have any respect left for SW after seeing 2018

The osaka one was her own fault!

If the incidents were isolated it would be easy to feel sympathy for Williams. But they are not. She's a champion without class.

Capriatti..”I deserve a Call once in a while”😉 Wish I could see the speed of ball every time Serena “lost” it to umpires & lines women.🤣 Gotta give it to Serena with her feistiness when she disagrees lol.

Serena gave us all she had and will go down as one of the greatest athletes of all times. Some matches were more contentious than others, but I never got tired of watching her. i wish her well in all of her endeavors.

the 2004 one was terrible from the umpire and lone judge. she was cheated out in that match

one big question to all the line judges and also the chair umpire in USO 2004 between Serena and Capriati, what'd they feel after they watched the video of the highlights? do they feel ashamed? or feel stupid?

The commentator was right, "there's a reason happened so many times"!!!😑

can't wait for another US open drama 2022 version 😂😂😂😂

Incredibly talented athlete, but Serena is a bully. That said, these officials are the worst I’ve seen. Serena was robbed in 2004.

I had no idea how bad that first series actually was....that should have been an umpire and lines crew ban right there.

That 2011 chair umpire was the stone cold brilliant umpire during the Djokovic vs Federer 2015 Final.

2018 was her couches fault 100% she doesn’t cheat… but he does

So glad she’s retired. Apart from 2004, it was shocking behaviour from Serena.

The real Serena williams

I’m a bit of a Serena fan and here is what I have to say to it: 2004 - Serena was completely robbed. Horrible umpiring. Lost respect for Capriati. Serena handled it better than most and she even shook hands with the umpire. 2009 - Serena’s fault. Overreacted to the call. Didn’t look like a foot fault but she could have just asked which foot it was instead of cursing the lineswoman out. 2011 - Serena overreacted and her “come on” definitely came before the ball bounced and Stosur got a racquet on it. I found her “you’re unattractive inside” comment quite funny though. She was wrong when she said, “and I never complain.” 2018 - Serena definitely overreacted. I agree that she tries to be honest but the racquet smash made the situation worse. She could have just stopped at “I don’t cheat to win, I’d rather lose” because she was being polite in that exchange, rather than go off on the umpire for giving her a point penalty. She definitely got coaching, and saw it because she said that he gave her the “thumbs up” and rushed to the net more. Then she pulls the gender card and continues to berate the umpire even after the game penalty. I’ve always admired the way Serena played and the way she changed women’s tennis. It was amazing how she was able to achieve so much during her time on tour. However, most of these US Open incidents were on her, and she should have handled them differently if she was so upset about them. I really felt bad for Osaka after USO 2018.

If a ball goes out and is called in, a player would lose his/her mind and fight for it. What Capriati did was the very definition of unsportsmanlike conduct. There's NO WAY that she didn't see those in. This game is just horrible in the way it's blatant. Either blatant racism/favouritism or gross incompetence! Then for JC to say that it's only fair coz she had a few go against her, that's stunning. Anyone who plays any code of sport would tell you that a bad call can throw you off your game.

I ain't never in my life wanted to riot for anything/anyone like I wanted to cause hell for Serena in 04' ✊🏾✊🏾💯... I still get warm inside til this day when thinking of it or hearing the name Capriati 😤😤🙄

Her behaviour contributed to the disgusting behaviour of the crowd towards Osaka winning.

Osaka was such a coward by letting this thug destroy her moment and not telling her to shutup and play.

The drama king

people like to say that Serena is a poor sport, but she made an effort to congratulate opponents even in these tough moments

Fair play to Serena in the 2004 match against Capriati! Shame on you!! Such a cheat! The Smug look on her face during the interview!

2004 us open match was like sarena vs the rest...

In 2018 , the umpire was racking up those violations 😂

Navratilova was a pain for umpires, but at lest he was not cursing at anybody!..

In the face of adversity, just to still dominate the world of Tennis is a once in a lifetime achievement!

I'm not following what exactly happened. At 3:15 the lines person actually calls it in?? And it's the chair umpire who overruled and said it's out??

It is good for great athletes to be competitive. It is disappointing for great athletes to be unsportsmanlike.

2004 - shocking umpiring and line calls - Totally with Serena. 2009 Why would the linesman make that statement up? Totally unacceptable behaviour on Serena's part. 2011 - Not sure. 2018 - Not sure about the coaching - Racket abuse and abusing the umpire by calling him a thief are definitely wrong.

Horrible, aggressive abusive woman. Throwing accusations around. I've got a daughter.... So what. I think she'd rather loose to be called out for being aggressive and threatening than loose full stop.

Yes , Clearly Serena’s match

I always gave Serena the benefit of the doubt... Until she played Naomi Osaka in the '18 US Open final. Serena's behavior was disgusting. The crowd's behavior was even worse. Perhaps the most shameful day in US Open history (besides the '04 women's final, where Serena was blatantly cheated). I'll never forget it. And I'll never forgive it.

Capriati really had no shame! Ridiculous

Still trying to decode how "I have a daughter" fitted in the argument

Serena reminds me of Kygrios. The temper is off the charts.

In '04, she was genuinely, severely robbed, but largely kept her composure and conducted herself well under the circumstances. In '09, '11, and '18, she was in the wrong and engaged in shameful histrionics and personal abuse of officials over basic rules being enforced against her. The latter behavior (down to summoning-the-tournament-supervisors-to-hear-her-case) suggests to me that she developed an overinflated ego over the years after compiling an endless litany of major victories and accolades, coming to feel she could throw her weight around and talk down to those around her. I also recall that following the 2018 display at the US Open, we saw some similar behavior from Nadal and Djokovic months later (bringing out tournament supervisors to complain about umpires enforcing time violation rules and whatnot), showing their own sense of superstar entitlement. I do fear the experience of amassing a multiple-digit count of major titles across many years is not good for a person's groundedness or humility.

The foot call got me confused....I don't know if the call was right

I don't think Stosur would have been able to retrieve that ball, Serena still shouldn't have shouted come on before it was over tho

The match with Capriati has got to be one of the WORST officiated matches in tennis history. That umpire was essentially drunk punch dumb making those calls. 🤦‍♂🤔

That Compton comes out quick 😂😂😂🇵🇰🇬🇧

And this only a small portion of everything she’s went through I bet

Unfortunately these last instances clouded my opinion of Serena. I just finished watching King Richard and he is portrayed as instilling in his daughters the importance of being humble. I think in her desperation to win the US Open towards the end of her career and her perceived continued bad luck at the tournament, meant that graciousness regretably went out the door

Compton came out of her !!

I didn’t really even look at it!!! I deserve to get a call sometimes! We got it Becky

To be honest, her compassion and competitiveness is real. If these were men talking like that, it would just be compassion, if a woman does it, shes the B word. We legit GLORIFY hockey players fighting but turn our nose at Serena. It’s definitely a double standard and Tennis would make a lot more money if they got some refs with a backbone. If I was the ref, I would’ve talked smack right back and got back to business. It’s sports and as a man who plays sports, this is nothing new. I wasn’t a fan of how they booed Naomi Osaka, but I also believe that you have to be prepared for the BS if you are in the limelight. ALSO, if that ref was on a soccer field making verbal abuse calls, he might not make it out of a stadium alive.

V Capriati, she was robbed… clear and simple. The rest was correctly refereed, but unfortunately the Williams’ look at every incident thru the prism of discrimination, and it actually fired her up but also possibly harmed her at times… it’s really a shame because Serena is the unrivaled greatest player of the open era

The link with all these video's is that whenever Serena was feeling the match was escaping her or about to lose, she couldn't admit it, and thus she did all to show that there were other circumstances against her than only the opponent. A (psychological) game in a game. And this was the only thing I disliked about her. Not accepting the defeat.

Why does the video say "2004 Final vs. Capriati?" Capriati did not even make the finals that year. It was an all-Russian final.
