Serena Williams smashed one final serve, dropped her racket, clenched her hands together and raised her arms in triumph.
At long last, a champion again.
After blood clots in her lugs and two foot operations threatened her career for nearly a year, Williams captured her first tournament title since returning with a 7-5, 6-1 win over Marion Bartoli in the Bank of the West Classic final Sunday.
"Coming back and hearing the claps when I walk out there are moments that I truly missed," Williams said. "It's so awesome to be back and to be a part of those moments. Not everyone can be a sports, I don't know if `star' sounds full of myself, but I've worked hard for that title.
"So, yes, I say it and I take pride in it."
