Williams could not recount clearly what was said when she tried to join the conversation between the linesman, the umpire and Earley.
"I think she [the linesman] said [I said] 'I would kill you,' and I was like, what? I was like, wait a minute. But then I had misheard. She had never said that . . . She [the linesman] was like 'No, [Serena] didn't say that. She said something else.' I said, 'Oh, OK. I get it.'
"And I was totally fine, because at that point, I realized I got a point penalty and it was match point. What can I do? I'm not going to complain. It was what it was."
After the penalty point cost her the match, she walked over to a bewildered Clijsters standing at the other baseline and shook her hand.
"She said good luck and I hope you win," Clijsters said.
