- ‘This is a long comeback,’ says Williams after defeat by Kvitova
- Edmund eliminated by Shapovalov but Federer wins on return
Serena Williams has said she is still at the beginning of a long comeback after her second-round defeat by Petra Kvitova in Cincinnati.
The 6-3, 2-6, 6-3 loss to the eighth seed and two-time Wimbledon champion followed her first-round exit in San Jose two weeks ago, when she suffered her heaviest career defeat, at the hands of the British No 1, Johanna Konta. Cincinnati was Williams’s sixth tournament since giving birth last September. She has dealt with blood clots and recently said she has been struggling with postpartum emotions.
