Serena Williams earns first win of season in Toronto

Associated Press  

TORONTO — Serena Williams hadn’t won in so long, she said she couldn’t even remember the feeling. She picked up her first victory since the 2021 French Open on Monday, beating Nuria Parrizas-Diaz 6-3, 6-4 at the women’s National Bank Open. Literally, I’m the kind of person it takes one or two things and then it clicks.” Williams started out strong, taking the first two games with relative ease. Parrizas-Diaz tied it 2-2, but despite Williams’ struggles at certain points, the 31-year-old Spaniard couldn’t find enough of a consistent flow to get ahead. “I can’t do this forever, so sometimes you just want to try your best to enjoy the moments and do the best that you can.” In other opening-round action, Canada’s Leylah Fernandez made her return to the court with a 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 win over Australian Storm Sanders.
