"Williams earned $1.4 million at the US Open: $900,000 for reaching the final, plus a $500,000 bonus for finishing first in the standings of the US Open Series, which takes into account results at hard-court tuneup tournaments.
The USTA also said Grand Slam committee director Bill Babcock determined “Williams’ conduct … does not rise to the level of a major offense.” She was under probation because of an outburst at the 2009 US Open."( http://www.eurweb.com/2011/09/serena-fined-2000-for-us-open-rant-against-umpire/)

That left Serena with a fine of $2,000 from the U.S. Open. I don't think it was that serious for her to be fined. She did not curse and she was showing her passion for the game.
