“My body feels great”: In Eastburne, according to “TennisBuzz”, Williams also spoke about her uncertainty before the comeback: “Did I ever doubt that I would return? Absolutely, for sure. It would be a lie if I would say it wasn’t, but now my body feels great.”

US tennis star optimistic before Wimbledon: After the difficult opening win (2: 6, 6: 3, 13:11) against Sara Sorribes Tormo and Marie Bouzková alongside Jabeur, Williams continued: “I definitely felt good, and I spoke to Ons in the first sentence and said, ‘It’s not going badly’. It clicked in training and now it seems to be working. It’s only a doubles, but it means a lot to both of us to be there.”
