Surprising us all by wearing a black full-length bodysuit with a red waistband in her first match on clay since 2016, Serena Williams withstood a tough test against Kristyna Pliskova to advance to the second round of Roland Garros on her return to Grand Slam action after maternity leave.
The first set went with serve all the way to the tiebreak, in which Williams recovered from 0-3 by winning six consecutive points to eventually win the set in which players served as many as 17 aces, 10 coming off of Pliskova’s racquet.
