http://tinyurl.com/y8oq5tv Serena Williams cash hit SERENA Williams faces the prospect of being hit with the largest fine in tennis history when she is penalised for her behaviour at the US Open. 小威將會收到網球史上最大的一張罰單 Industry sources yesterday indicated the International Tennis Federation's grand slam committee was close to reaching consensus on the Williams case, almost 12 weeks after the incident. 經過十二週調查 已經到達尾聲階段 Williams has been cited under the sport's code of conduct for committing a major offence, an infraction that carries possible suspension from January's Australian Open. 小威的行為被斷定為嚴重攻擊 有可能會禁止他參加澳網 Williams allegedly threatened to kill a lineswoman in New York, saying: "If I could. I would take this f---ing ball and shove it down your f---ing throat." The winner of 11 majors, Williams almost certainly will be allowed to contest the Australian Open, where she is the defending champion. "如果我可以的話 我會把這個該死的球塞進你他媽的喉嚨裡" 被視為威脅要殺掉線審 不過他幾乎確定可以參加澳網 But she is likely to receive a fine that far outstrips the $US100,000 Lleyton Hewitt was docked in 2002 for missing an interview in Cincinnati. 但是他非常可能收到比2002時Hewitt的十萬美金罰單更高額的懲罰 ITF grand slam administrator Bill Babcock has completed his investigation, taking evidence and submissions from Williams and the officials directly involved on the day. 大滿貫主管Bill Babcock已經完成調查 Those findings will be discussed in London tomorrow by the four members of the grand slam committee. Geoff Pollard (Australian Open), Jean Gachassin (French), Tim Phillips (Wimbledon) and Lucy Garvin (US) will meet to assess Babcock's recommendations. The group has the power to overturn, or vary, Babcock's verdict. 明天將會同四大滿貫代表對調查做出最後決議 Officials could ban Williams from next season's US Open or strip her of the $372,000 singles prizemoney and 900 rankings points. There are suggestions a $1 million fine could be levied, along with a good behaviour bond. 他們有權禁止小威參加明年美網 或是拿走他在美網賺到的37萬獎金以及900分積分 甚至還可能會祭出一百萬美金的罰單 Williams was fined the maximum on-site penalty of $10,850 in New York for unsportsmanlike behaviour. The outburst was triggered by a suspect foot-fault call in her semi-final against Belgian Kim Clijsters. Williams has apologised several times for the incident. 他在事件之後已經馬上被罰了最高額的一萬美金罰款 Officials are expected to release the Williams decision after next week's Davis Cup final in Barcelona. 預估在下週Davis Cup結束後公佈最後結果 -- --
