Serena Williams picks up pieces after her outburst uproar

Serena Williams, the hot-tempered 27-year-old tennis star, said she was "in the moment" and doesn't really remember her now-famous outburst at a line judge who had called a foot fault.

It was a 12-second verbal attack that has played over and over for three days.

"It was a really tough point in the match and it was really close and got a really tough call that wasn't the correct call, and, you know, things got a little heated and I had a conversation with the line judge that didn't go so well," Williams said.

Williams, ranked No. 2 in the world by the World Tennis Association, said she does not recall moments of Saturday's incident but believes she apologized for her actions promptly and completely.
