No, sorry I don't recall. What I can tell you is that I was watching the match when it occurred. The only video I could find was a match between Williams and Azarenka at the 2015 French Open.

In this instance Azarenka's shot was called out well after Williams had hit her shot, which she netted. The out call on Azarenka's shot was reversed, and because the original call came well after Williams shot, the point should have gone to Azarenka. Unfortunately, the umpire, Kader Nouni incorrectly sided with Williams contention that the out call came prior to Williams shot. This certainly wasn't blatant unsportsmanlike conduct by Williams, but she had to know that her stroke was well completed before what was a very late out call. 
I play an average of 5 days/week, nearly 365 days/year and I can tell you that Williams had to realize the out call came well after her shot. The fact that it was a crucial point in the set makes it even more unsporting.
