Williams back in top 10 draft

-

SERENA Williams has returned to the top 10 in world tennis for the first time since having her first child.

Williams dropped as low as 491st upon her return to competitio­n in March 2018 but is up to No.10 after reaching two grand slam finals since, losing to Angelique Kerber at Wimbledon and Naomi Osaka at the US Open. Williams hasn’t played since her quarter-final loss to Karolina Pliskova at last month’s Australian Open but she overtook Caroline Wozniacki. The Danish player’s points from reaching last year’s Doha semi-finals expired this week.
