Serena Williams made a winning return to Grand Slam tennis which was as memorable as her body-hugging black catsuit when she reached the Roland Garros second round on Tuesday. The 36-year-old downed Kristyna Pliskova of the Czech Republic 7-6 (7/4), 6-4 to register her first victory at the majors since her 2017 Australian Open triumph. "I missed Roland Garros so much, I missed the battle," Serena, the 2002, 2013 and 2015 champion in Paris, said after playing her first clay court match since finishing runner-up to Garbine Muguruza in the 2016 final on the same Philippe Chatrier Court.
"I couldn't play last year. I had a baby but I am so happy to be back.
"It's been two years since I played here. It wasn't easy but I have been training really hard. I feel good and just so happy to be back here."
