Speaking after her won on Wednesday, Williams said: "I feel good. As good as one can feel after having such a long time off.
" I was telling Ons, this was a really good match and the second set in particular.
"They played really well, but we were able to just play different circumstances.
"It was actually good match play and match practice, which is exactly what I needed.
"It's what I wanted to do coming here, so I couldn’t have asked for more."
