Speaking to New York Times on the development, Serena said:
I wouldn’t say it’s exciting. But it’s definitely going to be a really tough match for me. Once again, it’s early in the tournament. You know, it is what it is.
Unfortunately and fortunately we have to play each other. We make each other better. We bring out the best when we play each other. It’s what we do. So, I think we’re used to it now.
