Old star Venus Williams celebrated a successful tennis comeback in mixed doubles at Wimbledon.
The 42-year-old American won alongside Briton Jamie Murray against New Zealander Michael Venus and Alicja Rosolska from Poland in the first round 6:3, 6:7 (3:7), 6:3. In a relaxed atmosphere on Court 1, Williams and Murray were visibly happy about the great cheering after the converted match point.
Williams last completed an individual on the WTA tour at the end of August last year. She has won seven singles titles, 14 doubles titles and two mixed doubles titles in her career in Grand Slam tournaments.
Her sister Serena celebrated her singles comeback after a year-long injury break. The 40-year-old was eliminated in the first round in three sets by French Harmony Tan.
