Serena Williams will shove a ball down your throat and she has to pay for threatening to do so, too.

Serena Williams was fined a record-breaking $82,500 for her courtside outburst during the U.S. Open in September. Jeff Tarango was fined $48,000 in the 1990s.

She will also be on a probationary period through 2011. Williams -- whose career prize earnings top $28 million -- will be suspended from the following U.S. Open, and hit with higher fines, if she has another incident during her probation.

Serena already lost the match due to her bad behavior, so this has got to sting, at least just a little.
