Serena Williams full of support for sister Venus Williams after comeback begins: "So proud of this woman"

Despite her early round loss at the Libema Open s-Hertogenbosch, Venus Williams received a lot of praise from fans for her effort, with sister Serena Williams being her biggest supporter.

Venus had been out of action since early January due to a hamstring injury, and made her return to the court after accepting a wildcard entry to the Libema Open. Although the 43-year old fell in three sets to 17-year old Swiss wildcard Celine Naef, her efforts and heart were never in doubt as she left everything on the tennis court.
