Serena will be back at Aussie Open
    2018-10-10  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

SEVEN-TIME champion Serena Williams will be back at the Australian Open in 2019 having missed her title defense this year after giving birth, organizers said yesterday.

The 23-time Grand Slam winner, who won in her last appearance in 2017 while pregnant, will be joined at January’s tournament by double Melbourne Park champion Victoria Azarenka, who was forced to withdraw from the 2018 event because of a custody battle with her baby’s father.

Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley said he was expecting a full contingent of the top 100 men and women players in Melbourne next year.

“I’m delighted to announce that Serena Williams will return to the Australian Open in January,” Tiley said while launching the 2019 event at Rod Laver Arena.

Williams needs one more Grand Slam singles victory to equal Australian Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24.
