Angry Serena smashes racquet

February 10, 2005. Not neccessarily new news, but racquet news nonetheless. It appears that top seeded Serena Williams smashed a racquet on her way to a quarter-final berth at the Paris Indoor Open. She won 6-3, 6-2 against wildcard Stephanie Cohen-Aloro, but the second round match was riddled with errors by the American, who had seven double faults and managed just under half of her first serves.
"I have a problem, I think I have anger issues," said Williams.

"I've just switched to a new racquet. The new one breaks easier, even if you bounce it," she said. "I've smashed so many racquets but this is the first one here."
