I watched it on TV live at time. The dingy who perched high on the chair during the match must be blind n retard &#8211; she was Mariana Alves who&#8217;s from Portugal.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m just wondering where is she now. <a href=\"http:\/\/usatoday30.usatoday.com\/sports\/tennis\/open\/2004-09-07-serena-missed-call_x.htm\">Who&#8217;d use her again<\/a>?!\u00a0&#8211; the Open dismissed her.<br \/>\nReportedly, the US Open apologized to Serena afterward.<br \/>\nSerena acted with class on the court, kept her cool too.<br \/>\nUnlike the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ireneeng.com\/?p=7856\">Stupid Question Queen<\/a> at French Open.<br \/>\nI had to shake my head, that year, it&#8217;s Capriati&#8217;s turn to win, after Serena was out. For a few years in a row Jennifer would run into Steffi Graf in the semi. But during the semi match, Capriati didn&#8217;t seem to be able to play, at her\u00a0full speed. Jinxed? It wasn&#8217;t Jennifer&#8217;s fault. I wasn&#8217;t sorry to see her losing the match.<br \/>\nAnyway. The Williams are still in. Hope they&#8217;ll capture few more slams, regardless being ranked #1 or not.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis.com\/news\/articles\/2004-mariana-alves-missed-call-ushers-in-hawk-eye\">This article claimed<\/a> that this 2004 US Open incident ushered in Hawkeye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flipping burgers? &#8230; Apparently she continued, and retired in 2019.
