Tennis super star, Serena Williams will make her return inside the court this coming Wednesday in the WTA event at Stanford University.

Williams had a troubling Wimbledon exit which is, according to her, was due to a virus that caused to her to be bed ridden for 3 days. Now that she has recuperated, she is now ready to begin working towards a new goal which is a third consecutive US Open crown and 18th Grand Slam singles title.

According to Williams "I feel very good. I feel very happy to be here, so it's good." She also admitted that she was fearful over what had happened to her in the Wimbledon games. Williams said "They just said I was really ill, and really under the weather and I just wasn't doing very well." She added "I was really scared after because I didn't realize how I felt until later and it's just, you know, 'Serena, keep your time, you will have the rest of your life to keep playing tennis hopefully."

Williams said that she was not aware that a lot of people were concerned over what happened to her in the Wimbledon and that she had put the incident behind her.

She said "I heard a lot of the response weeks and weeks later because I didn't leave my house or my bed for a few days," Williams said. "But by the time that happened when I read or heard about it from other people I was just like, 'Oh really, I already moved on.' I was working out and starting to try to play again."

On the other hand, the ace player made most of her down time which is about three weeks and spent it by resting from the virus.

"After Wimbledon I stayed around in Europe because I was gonna play in Bastad, and I feel so bad about not being able to play there. I ended up going on what I called 'vacation,' which is like when you have fun in the sun but you practice in the day, in the morning. I tried to practice very early so I can have fun later."
