Williams, 40, had not played since retiring injured from her first-round match at Wimbledon last year.

The American great and Jabeur won 2-6 6-3 13-11 against Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo and Czech Marie Bouzkova.

The pair fought back from a slow start and took their third match point in front of an excited Eastbourne crowd.
