Serena penalty hands Clijsters final berth

​Serena penalty hands Clijsters final berth


​Kim Clijsters reached the US Open final after beating defending champion Serena Williams 6-4, 7-5 Saturday in a contest that ended in chaos after the American was handed a point penalty on match point.

With the Belgian on the brink of victory, second seed Williams was called for a foot-fault on a second serve to go match point down. An angry Williams argued with the lineswoman who reported her for verbal abuse.
