(UTV|COLOMBO) – American Serena Williams believes she can play even better than she did before she took a break from tennis to give birth, the BBC Sport reported.
The 36-year-old defeated Australia’s 17th seed Ashleigh Barty 3-6 6-3 6-4 to reach the third round of the French Open – her first Grand Slam since winning the 2017 Australian Open.
“I’m probably not where I was before I left,” said the 23-time major winner.
“I’m definitely going to get there, but I also want to get beyond there.”
Williams will meet 11th seed Julia Goerges in the last 32 after the German beat former French Open quarter-finalist Alison van Uytvanck of Belgium 7-5 7-6 (7-5).
