Serena Williams
Multiple Grand Slam victor Serena Williams should be match fit and ready in time for the French Open in May, according to her coach Patrick Mouratoglou.
The BNP Paribas Open's official Twitter account said: "Two-time champion Serena Williams set to face Zarina Diyas in the first round of the #BNPPO18 in her first match since winning the Australian Open previous year and giving birth to daughter Olympia". After giving birth to her daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., Serena returned to the circuit earlier this year only to pull out of her title defence in Melbourne saying she was not upto the fitness level she wants to be in.
She represented the United States in a Fed Cup doubles match last month and is scheduled to play at Indian Wells this week. "I think we can say without a doubt that this is her biggest challenge", Mouratoglou told the official WTA website.
The 23-time grand slam singles victor gave birth to daughter Olympia on September 1 and has been working her way back to fitness.
