Serena Williams is officially back.
Nearly a year after she limped off the court at Wimbledon due to a leg injury, Williams returned to competitive tennis on Tuesday at Eastbourne International. She and her doubles partner Ons Jabeur beat Sara Sorribes Tormo and Marie Bouzkova 2-6, 6-3, 13-11 in a match that lasted one hour and 33 minutes.
Williams and Jabeur have never played doubles with each other before, and you could see some of that in the early part of the match. They looked like they were having a hard time getting on the same page, and it's also been quite a long time since Williams has played doubles.
