“I have no idea. I think it’s going to be really weird. I think it would actually be good for some players that don’t like big fans, I definitely think I drive a little energy from the fans but you know, not too much because there’s been a long time during my career where I had to drive it from myself. So I am right in the middle, I really don’t know how’s it going to be.” said Serena when asked about how the experience is going to be without playing in front of the fans.
