It has been revealed that Serena Williams has been fined for her outburst during her Semi final match with Kim Clijsters at the U.S Open over the weekend.

As reported from the BBC, Serena Williams was handed a $10,000 fine by the US Open organizers. She has also been handed a $500 fine for her racket abuse that occurred during the same match.

It is now thought that Williams could face further action, in the way of a suspension in future Grand Slam events.

The big talking point here though, is whether $10,000 is really enough punishment for her actions. We say this, as Serena would have pocketed $455,000 for her run in the singles and doubles at this year’s US Open, so $10,000 would be simply play money to her.

Let us know if you think she has been let off the hook gently with that small fine, or if you think further action should be taken against her.
