A couple of things to consider here. It doesn't matter if it's the first point or the last point you call the line as best as you can. The mentality that it was match point and should have been ignored is just as ridiculas as saying that Clister's ball ,at match point, was just a little out but we should ignore it as the match was really over anyway! Keep in mind Serena already had another footfault called earlier and had broken a racquet. The main difference between Mac, Conners and Nasty was the personal THREAT by Serena. Sorry that blows it. Don't forget either that Mac was the first player defaulted from a match for his antics.
