PertSnergleman's Review:
-------------------------------------------

"I guess she went temporary insane," Williams said.

As the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd was roaring its approval of what should have been Williams’ advantage, the score was posted as Capriati’s advantage. When the crowd quieted and as Williams was about to serve, Alves announced, “advantage Capriati,” and an astounded Williams threw up her hands and mouthed, “What happened?”

Then Williams said to Alves: “That’s my point. That ball was in. It’s my advantage.”

Later Williams said she was trying to avoid a mistake her sister, Venus, had made at Wimbledon when the score was called wrongly, against Venus, and Venus didn’t immediately recognise the mistake and have it corrected.
“At first I thought it was another Wimbledon conspiracy,” Williams said. “I thought [Alves] just got the score wrong, and I wanted to clarify that I had won the point because I know my shots and I saw the ball. And I knew it was in. I said, ‘OK. Wait a minute now. I just want to make sure the score was right and it was my advantage.’ ”

Then Williams sprinted toward Alves yelling, “No, no, no, no, no. That was my point. What are you talking about? What’s going on? Excuse me? That ball was so in. What the heck is this?”

As Williams questioned Alves, she placed a tennis ball about an inch inside a line, indicating where she thought her own shot had landed. Alves told Williams she had overruled the line call, which occurred across the court, and also told Williams to calm down. Williams went on to have her serve broken in the game.

While she broke Capriati’s serve in the next game, Capriati broke again, an advantage she never gave up throughout the final set.

In the final game, when it took Capriati three match points to finally win, television replays showed two Williams groundstrokes that were called long hit the baseline. And on the 30-30 point, Capriati served a clear double fault. But Capriati’s second serve was not called long and Williams lost the point.

“I know my shots,” Williams said, “and I know when I make them and why I miss them. That’s why I never complain.”

In a statement, Brian Earley, U.S. Open tournament referee, said: “Regrettably, the replay on television showed that an incorrect overrule was made by the chair umpire. A mistake was made and I have discussed the call with the chair umpire, Ms. Alves. Ms. Alves is not scheduled to officiate another match during the 2004 U.S. Open.”

Afterward, the WTA said the chair umpire had issued an apology.
