Beijing, 2008 ... Federer, now Venus, support from the crowd in decibels can make a huge difference?

Question

I guess I'd player better too with a crowd cheering and chanting my name at every winning point I made.

Answer 1

uh, i would think it would add a lot more ressure!

Answer 2

yeah, I think it hurt Venus alot, the crowd; but she'll get over it. When Na Li comes to the US to play, we'll be much more dignified and only roar when she makes good points.  Same thing with Serena and Justin at the French Open.
