Serena Williams won her first singles match in 430 days on Monday as she defeated Spain's Nuria Párrizas Díaz 6-4 6-3 at the Canadian Open in Toronto.
Williams, whose last singles victory came at the 2021 French Open, had to battle hard to overcome Párrizas Díaz in close to two hours, despite what the straight-sets scoreline might suggest.
The 23-time grand slam champion dropped her serve just once in the match, but saved seven break points -- including four when she trailed 3-4 in the second set -- to hold off Párrizas Díaz, ranked No. 57 in the world.
