Venus Williams said she had a hard time finding her game face Friday
in her return to the BNP Paribas Open after a 15-year absence. While the result wasn’t to her liking - a 6-4, 6-3 loss to Japanese qualifier Kumura Nara in the second round - Williams was giggling and smiling widely throughout her post-match press conference. She said her disposition wasn’t much different from the moment she walked onto the court.
“It just shows that you can always come back home,” said Williams, the California native. “It was wonderful to feel the love. I would love to come on back.
“It's been a wonderful moment. Fifteen years later, to have such a joyous return, is more than I could have ever asked for. It's such a blessing.”
