Normally you have about 5 minutes until you are called in the tunnel, the moment they take you, you go alone. The team crosses to the other side and enters the stands. Serena always stayed with all the staff. I was there alone, small, and she was with the staff, she.” sirtea explained.
“He was surrounded by many people. A trainer, sparring, trainer, physio, mom, sister, puppy, dog sitter. They were laughing, joking and joking a little. You enter the field, and then he enters, cheering, wildly. In the warm-up, he easily delivered the ball from behind at a speed of 2 km per hour. As for the volleyballs, it gave you full power.” she loved it.

“And when he [Serena Williams] She was in her best form, Serena was top, she gave exceptional service. It did 200 km/h slowly. I make an average of 170 serves, we are talking about 1 service. It was providing 190 services continuously,” he said. said, added “He was a phenomenal player for his time. He knew when to step on the gas, he had the strength and the perfect technique.
