, who made a return to competitive tennis in 2018, wears compression stockings to ward off thrombosis. The former world no. 1, speaking after her straight-set win over Tatjana Maria, said: I have had some issues, and theyre not done.
So its just something I just have to do for pretty much probably the rest of my career, well see. But Im always at the doctor. With DVTs, its very scary. I know a lot of people have them theyre very common.
A lot of people have them. Especially for me its incredibly frightening. I lay on the side of precaution as opposed to not. Analyzing her win, Serena added: It was nice to be back out there. Last time I was out there was a great moment, especially internally for me, it was even a better moment.
I think it was a good match today. I didnt make too many unforced errors, I think. Shes a tricky player. Could have been easily a 6-3, 6-4 match or three-set match. Shes been able to beat top players, No. 1 and No. 2, so she knows how to play.
I think always when I have a tougher round or I know someone thats really good, I really want to be focused, and then that was really helpful for me today. On Thursday, in the evening session, Serena will play Eugenie Bouchard in the second round.
