Patrick Mouratoglou, the coach of Serena Williams has given his thoughts on her return to the top and admitted that it's massively tough to return after pregnancy and that she has had to re-create her body.

Mouratoglou did admit that Williams is still far away from her best again but is close to returning to it again after of course being out for some time.
He also added that the reason why she returned was because she wanted to beat the Grand Slam's record and that is why she has gone through it all a gain.
"Serena is 38 years old, the daughter was born two years ago," said Mouratoglou.
"She was holding 23 Grand Slam titles and she already had the best career and results. But she still likes tennis and she still feels she can win Grand Slams. So she decided to be back. Now she wants to beat the 24 Grand Slams record."
"She came back because of those reasons although it's unbelievably difficult for a woman to return after having a baby. And even more at 36 years and not 26. It's even tougher, a woman's body becomes mother's body when she gives birth."
"Mother's body is different than best athlete's body. She re-created her body to fight again. For this reason, she made unbelievable physical efforts. I think she is still far away from her best level but she still be more ready as the time goes on."
