“If there is opportunity for me to play, then hopefully I can get back somewhere this year,” said Williams, who received wild cards into the singles, doubles and mixed doubles draws at the US Open.
“What I’m proudest of is it’s not easy to come off the bench,” Williams said. “I have never had a layoff that long. It brought new challenges that I wasn’t ready for in so many ways.”
Asked if her recent comeback performances had helped her fall back in love with tennis, she replied: “I was never out of love with the game.
“I never had to think about if I loved the game. I was always playing, so it’s part of my DNA. But clearly to be out here grinding at this point, there has to be a little love, right?”
