Serena Williams returned to tennis after a year away with a doubles win at the Eastbourne International on Tuesday, June 21, and while the American great reaffirmed her love for the game she said her future on the circuit remains uncertain. The 23-time Major champion had not played competitive tennis since limping out of her first-round match at last year’s Wimbledon in tears due to a leg injury, and the 40-year-old said there were times when she doubted she would ever compete again. However, Williams, who has won seven Wimbledon singles titles, took a wildcard for the grasscourt Major and kicked off her preparations with a doubles win with Tunisian Ons Jabeur. The duo came from a set down to beat Sara Sorribes Tormo and Marie Bouzkova 2-6 6-3 (13-11). “You know what, I’m literally taking it one day at a time,” Williams told reporters about her plans, saying she “absolutely” had moments of doubt about returning to the Tour. “I really took my time with my hamstring injury so I’m just not making a ton of decisions after this.”
