Serena can still crush the ball
Serena can still hit aces
Serena can still feast on 2d serves
Serena is still finding her sea legs- Christopher Clarey (@christophclarey) Someone just yelled, "You're my queen, Serena!" And another fan followed it with, "Same!"- D'Arcy Maine (@darcymaine_espn) Serena owns a rich big-picture perspective, tested and shaped by health scares and the natural process of evolving as a person.
There is surely a part of her which is simply happy to be playing.....
.... and yet, between the painted lines, she is fully invested in this match.- Matt Zemek (@mzemek) The Goat is back!! Great to see Serena victorious in her return!- Steve Weissman (@Steve_Weissman) says Azarenka has been so helpful. She gave me tips on being a mom. She's such a great mom.- INSIDE TENNIS (@BillSimons1) Serena didn’t fluff too many lines on her latest opening night.

She’s on it.- Courtney Nguyen (@FortyDeuceTwits) Serena Williams on where she's at: "From zero to Serena, I’m at the ‘S’, I’ve got a way to go for the rest"- Reem Abulleil (@ReemAbulleil) She is a survivor , she is a role model to millions , she is a champion in every way. She is Serena Williams & she is a queen & the queen is back & it’s the best thing ever!! Congrats on an amazing match - Darko Grncarov (@DarkoGrncarov) Wanna know why Serena Williams is a once in a lifetime athlete?
She grew a human inside of her, gave birth to that human, almost died after giving birth, & is currently on a pro tennis court competing with the world #53 in one of the world’s biggest tournies just 6 months later- Matt Dowell (@TheMattDowell) Game, set, Serena.
In her first official match as a mom, Serena Williams is just as we remembered her: A winner.
She beats Zarina Diyas 7-5 6-3. Next up: No. 29 Kiki Bertens - BNP Paribas Open (@BNPPARIBASOPEN) 404 days later, she's back.
