Serena Williams has been fined $10,000 by the US Open organisers for her outburst towards a line judge during her semi-final defeat to Kim Clijsters on Saturday.



Williams lost her cool after being foot-faulted at the end of the contest.



She was also fined $500 for racquet abuse in the same match.



Officials said further penalties could be imposed once an investigation had taken place.
