PARIS, France – Mapapanood na simula sa Martes (Miyerkules sa Manila) ang pagbabalik aksiyon ni three-time champion Serena Williams sa French Open first-round kontra Kristyna Pliskova sa Court Philippe Chatrier.

Ang 36-anyos ay huling nakapaglaro sa 2017 Australian Open kung saan dalawang buwan na ang kanyang dinadala. Sa French Open, binigyan siya ng seeding na ikinadismaya naman ng ibang player sa Tour.

Tahasan ang hindi pagpayag nina nina dating Grand Slam champions Petra Kvitova at Victoria Azarenka sa pagbibigay (excepted ) kay Williams.

“This conversation was not on the table last year when I was coming back and I was not seeded in Wimbledon,” the Belarusian said after her first-round loss to Katerina Siniakova on Monday.

“And Wimbledon has the choice to do that. And this year they are going to be seeding Serena.

“So if we talk in terms of rule, the rule has to be for everybody.”
