Serena Williams made a winning return to action at the Eastbourne International on June 21 as she and partner Ons Jabeur came from a set down to beat Sara Sorribes Tormo and Marie Bouzkova 2-6 6-3 (13-11) in the women's doubles.
The former world number one had not played competitive tennis since limping out of last year's first-round match at Wimbledon - where she has won seven of her 23 Grand Slam singles titles - in tears due to a leg injury.
Back on court and on the grass again, Williams stepped up preparations for Wimbledon, where the main draw starts next Monday, having been granted a wildcard to enter, alongside Tunisian Jabeur in the opening round at Eastbourne.
