Key Biscayne, Mar 23: Serena Williams , returning after an eight-month layoff, was made the top seed at the WTA and ATP Masters Series event and could face second-seeded sister Venus in the final.
Two-time defending champion Serena Williams has not played since defeating elder sister Venus Williams in last July's Wimbledon final. She is only ranked sixth in the WTA while Venus, also a former world number one, has slid to 17th.
If Serena intends to reclaim her women's tennis throne, the trek starts now. "It definitely takes a lot (to get) back to the top," Williams said. "I think Im definitely willing to put in the time and put in everything that I need to.
"Its hard when you're off for so long to put in the time but I feel that Im at that point that I am definitely ready and able and willing."
