Tennis champion, Serena Williams has begun her return to Tennis with a sweet victory in the first round of the French Open.
The 36-year-old mother of one beat world’s No 70 Kristyna Pliskova 7-6, 6-4 in an hour and 45 minutes.
The former World’s No 1 is hoping to bounce back to the top, after having fallen to 453rd in the world ranking after taking time out to have a baby.
‘I’m very happy,’ said Williams. ‘ She played really well, she made a lot of aces (15). Two years has been a long time but I trained really hard on the clay. I’m taking it a day at a time.’
Serena Williams’Reddit co-founder husband Alexis Ohanian and their daughter, Olympia were among the very special guests that came to support her.
