Defending champion Serena Williams reached the second round at Wimbledon by defeating Aravane Rezai of France 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.
Williams was out of action for nearly a year after foot surgery and blood clots in her lungs. She played her first competitive matches since winning Wimbledon at Eastbourne last week.
The seventh-seeded American has won four titles at the All England Club and is one of the favorites this year despite her long absence from the tour.
