In a bizarre finish to a closely contested semifinal, Serena Williams is called for a foot fault on a second serve while trailing Kim Clijsters, 4-6, 5-6, 15-30. The call gives Clijsters a match point. Williams disagrees, angrily confronting the lineswoman who made the call. After a discussion between Williams, the lineswoman, the chair umpire and the tournament referee, it is ruled that Williams' outburst earns her a code violation. The code violation is Williams' second of the match and results in a point penalty that hands Clijsters the game and, with it, the set and the match.
