Serena Williams rally to beat Jelena Jankovic in a heated Family Circle Cup Finals
Serena Williams and Jelena Jankovic ot into a testy verbal exchange early in the second set after Williams accused Jankovic of trying to rush her on the service return. Williams won 12 of the final 14 games after the heated argument.
It all started early in the second set with Jankovic serving after having just won the first set.
Jankovic was about to deliver a serve when Williams stopped and held up her racquet indicating she wasn't ready to play the point. The two then verbally sparred with Williams telling Jankovic to "wait until I am ready.''
"Honestly, you have a problem,'' Williams shouted across the net at Jankovic.
Jankovic then protested during the change over to the chair umpire telling him that Williams shouldn't get "special'' treatment.
After the match, Williams insisted she, and Venus, are the most courteous players on the WTA Tour.
"I wasn't ready,'' said Williams.
"I am the most respectful player, other than Venus. I am so respectful to my colleagues.''
At the 2009 US Open Williams once told a line judge she was going to shove a tennis ball down her throat.
