All I know is that I'm actually kind of glad Venus is done with that environment. It's a relief in many ways because I honestly wasn't going to watch much more of it. For what I saw today, the television was on mute.

Hard not to agree with this. Serena seems to want to conquer it, though. Almost too much, maybe. She's certainly never been the same there since 2003, and I don't say that to bash her opponent, but to recall the crowd's reaction to a player who did absolutely nothing untoward in the match, played well within the rules by having calls that went against her checked by the chair, and was nothing short of attacked from the stands.
