Serena Williams defeated Nuria Parisa Diaz 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the second round of the tournament in Toronto. It was the first victory for an American tennis player in almost 14 months.
The 23 Grand Slam winner beat Danielle Collins 6-4, 6-4 in the third round of Roland Garros on June 4, 2021. This was Serena Williams’ last win on the tour.
It is worth noting that the American tennis player returned to competitive action a year later. Now she has fallen out of the rankings, having lost the last few points.
Serena Williams will face either Naomi Osaka or Kaya Kanepi in the second round. The American tennis player is included in the list of participants in the US Open this year.
Serena Williams wins tennis matches again 🤩🐐
