In what can be called one of the most anticipated events of the year, legendary tennis player Serena Williams has finally made her comeback at the Wimbledon Championships and is battling out hard against the Frenchwoman Harmony Tan.

The comeback wasn’t easy for the American as she had to start from the scratch and it took time for Serena to calm her nerves and settle into the match. Meanwhile, Tan, who is playing the biggest match of her career so far, looks more relaxed and played with more freedom when compared to her opponent.

While Serena had the upper hand initially, it was the Frenchwoman who narrowed past Serena to clinch the first set, 7-5. There was a mild interruption to the play as the roof was closed and the second set started right where both the player left the first and the second game took almost twenty minutes to complete.

Currently, Serena takes a mammoth lead of 3-0 against Tan and is all set to take the match to the decider. Meanwhile, Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka happened to come across Serena’s match while she was in rehab.

Taking to her Instagram stories, Osaka wrote, “In the rehab center like”. The four-time Grand Slam champion indirectly referenced Serena as the queen and is cheering for her to win the match.

On the other hand, Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian, who was present live on Center Court, also took to his social media to celebrate his wife’s grand comeback.

Coming to the match, Serena is currently one game away from clinching the second set as the adversities of the first set prepared her well for the second and she bounced back in an emphatic fashion to level the match.

Tan, however, couldn’t do much to stand the aggressive game of the American and will look to give a tough fight to Serena in the deciding third set.
