It's that time of year for Indian Wells and the big news for women's tennis is the return of Serena Williams. This is her first big tournament back from her absence due to pregnancy. I expect she will be at the top of her game as she was still hitting balls until she was 8 1/2 months pregnant. It is interesting to note that she is unseeded and could have a third round match up against the 8th seeded Venus. There are many serious contenders in the draw including top ranked Halep, but I still see Serena as the favorite to win the title.
