I've just read it and gotta say I'm quite annoyed with Serena's attitute towards it. It's been three years since, you HAVE to be humble enough to recognize where you did wrong aside a correct/incorrect lineswoman call. Plus, she enters the sh*tfest of people talking down at "grunting" players. Come on...
Oh, dear. I wish Serena had not consented to talk about this issue. It only opens up expressions of feelings that are, at this point, better left unsaid. But that's really up to Serena, I suppose.
I hope all goes peacefully in New York this year.
