Tennis superstar Serena Williams was fined a record $82,500 for her foul-mouthed diatribe aimed towards a lineswoman at September's U.S. Open, and will be on a "probationary period" through 2011, Grand Slam administrator Bill Babcock said Monday.

Babcock told the AP that 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.
