(KTNV) -- A Serena Williams moment of anger has gone viral on the Internet.

It has been a tough tournament for Williams. In fact, she says it's been the "worst two weeks" of her career.

Williams smashed her racket after losing to 19-year-old Sloane Stephens during the quarter finals of the Australian Open.

It wasn't just a loss for Williams. It was a huge upset in the tennis world -- a former number one losing to a teenager.

The Florida teenager, who is not getting all kinds of attention after beating Williams, says that Serena was her childhood hero.

Stephens says that she grew up with pictures of Williams on her bedroom walls.
