Serena Returns to Action
It's been more than eight months since Serena Williams saw action in a professional tennis match, but the wait will be over shortly. The former World No.1 will return to action this week at the NASDAQ-100 Open in Miami - ending her long stint away from the game.

Williams last played at Wimbledon in July, where she successfully defended her title. Several weeks later she underwent an operation to repair a partial tear in her left knee that forced her to miss the remainder of the season.

"All day long I think about it," Williams said. "I’m really excited to get out there and play. I’m more excited than everyone else. As excited as everyone else is, I’m ten times more excited."
