London, June 14 (ANI): American tennis star Serena Williams has spoken of her joy at returning to tennis after a traumatic year in which she feared she was on her "death bed" at one point.
Williams has not played since being hospitalised with blood clots on her lung after cutting a foot following her fourth Wimbledon victory last year.
And her return in Eastbourne's Aegon International this week is a relief.
"I'm so excited to be back. I was on my death bed at one point - quite literally," the BBC quoted Serena, as saying ahead of her match against Tsvetana Pironkova.
She said that her time away from the game had given her a whole new perspective on life and her career, and added that she was not taking anything for granted.
"I'm just taking one day at a time. I'm not preparing for today or for Wimbledon. I'm preparing for the rest of my career," she said. (ANI)
