Serena Williams Says Florida Is Home |

Serena Williams will return to her comfort zone at the Miami Masters after dealing with a back problem the last time she played a month ago in Dubai. The No. 1 skipped Indian Wells as usual as part of a family feud with organizers which has lasted for 13 years, but is ready to step onto court after her pause.

“This is home, I don’t have to travel and I train her a lot at the courts. I’m used to the conditions, the wind and the heat. I’ve been waiting for this for quite awhile. The American, while giving little away as usual, said that her back is not currently a problem, adding that a treatment regime seems to have done it job. “I have to do a lot to make sure it stays loose, but it’s not a worry now.”

Williams will be glad to get back to the heat of WTA competition at the joint event which concludes the matched set of North American hardcourt majors. And with high expectations from “her” public, Williams cannot help but feel a few nerves.

“I feel disappointed when I cannot play my best in a match, like I’ve let the fans down. There is always tremendous pressure and I actually feel it more in the early rounds than maybe the later ones. But I’m super-psyched right now, I’m ready to play. It can get so boring just training, even if I know it’s all part of the big picture. I’m still so eager to compete, I don’t see an end to my career anytime soon.”
