So happy to see her back and winning. Good test today. Hope she keeps going.

4. I Don't Think She's "Back" Back

She looked a little slow in the parts i saw. I think she may still be trying to get her conditioning and burst back.

The velocity on the ground strokes didn't look like the "holy cow" we're used to seeing, and i think she would have been in big trouble if her opponent had reduced the unforced errors. (She had a lot of them.)

I agree it's nice to see her back in the game, but i think it might be a while before the real Serena is all the way back.

Over a year is a long time to be out of a sport like this. We just need to have patience.

5. Oh she's back baby.......

Just crushed this last opponent today, Saturday......it’s onto the screamer now. That’ll be a real test. I think she’s just gotten better with each match. JMHO.

8. and Serena just withdrew from the French.......a pectoral muscle injury.

9. Yeah, She Said She Can't Serve. . .

. . .without pain. That'd be a problem.
