Serena Williams set to return to the National Bank Open in Toronto

TORONTO: The 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams is set to play in the National Bank Open, starting from August 8-14 in Toronto.

It will be her first hard-court tournament in two years after she made her tennis return at the end of June by playing doubles in the Eastbourne tournament on grass court ahead of Wimbledon. She then played singles at Wimbledon, losing in the first round to France's Harmony Tan in a close three-set match.

Serena Williams is scheduled to participate in the National Bank Open in Toronto, the first WTA 1000 event of the summer. She is using her protected ranking to enter the Toronto tournament. IANS
