13434112, I watched that 2018 finale and the crowd was terrible

I recently re-read a NYT article about it and from what I remembered I'm sure it must've been pretty horrible from her POV, being a Serena fan since childhood and all. Serena cussing out everyone and the crowd booing all night, she even apologized as she accepted her trophy lol :(

Even though they weren't all necissarily booing AT her, the fact that you've got a mob booing all night as you finally step up and win your first big trophy is very un-tennis like lol. No wonder she was shook from it, if already she's very shy / introverted / socially anxious etc to begin with
