Serena Williams motivated to play US Open after Wimbledon loss

Serena WIlliams did not get the Wimbledon comeback she was hoping for, but
the 23-time major champion leaves encouraged by her performance against
Harmony Tan.

Serena Williams is ready to hit the practice courts after her first-round
loss at Wimbledon. The 23-time major champion returned to singles action for
the first time in 12 months and Tuesday was narrowly edged out by No.115
Harmony Tan of France, 7-5, 1-6, 7-6(7).

"It definitely makes me want to hit the practice courts because you're
playing not bad and you're so close," Williams told reporters after the
match. "Any other opponent probably would have suited my game better.

"So, yeah, I feel like that it's actually kind of like, 'OK, Serena, you can
do this if you want.'"

Williams made her return to competition in the week before Wimbledon at the
Rothesay International in Eastbourne, where she played two doubles matches
with World No.2 Ons Jabeur. Williams' progress was noticeable and over the
course of her 3-hour and 11-minute tussle with Tan. She showed glimpses of
the form that has won her seven Wimbledon titles. But ultimately, it was the
lack of match play that proved to be the difference in the match.

"I think if you're playing week in, week out, or even every three weeks,
every four weeks, there's a little bit more match toughness," Williams said.
"But with that being said, I felt like I played pretty OK on some of 'em, notall of 'em. Maybe some key ones I definitely could have played better.

"You got to think if I were playing matches I wouldn't miss some of those
points or this match."

Williams now hopes she'll be able to play her home Slam at the US Open in
September.

"When you're at home, especially in New York, and the US Open, that being the first place I've won a Grand Slam, is something that's always super special," Williams said. "Your first time is always special.

"There's definitely lots of motivation to get better and to play at home."

Outside of her desire to play at home, Williams brushed aside questions abouther future. Asked if she might have played her final Wimbledon, she demurred.

"That's a question I can't answer," she said. "Like, I don't know. Who knows?Who knows where I'll pop up.

"Like I said coming into this, I'm just planning for right now, seeing how I
feel, just to go from there."

輸了第一輪真的好可惜 畢竟搶十一開始不是沒有贏的機會
畢竟一年沒打了 後續慢慢調整能繼續參加美網也不錯!
