00:00Serena Williams chose Dubai to be her launchpad from injury, and that seems to be the right
00:12decision as Williams returned to tennis action with an emphatic 7-6, 6-0 win over Russia's
00:18Ekaterina Makarova in the second round of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
00:23The American World No. 1 is playing in Dubai courtesy of a wild card after being sidelined
00:28with a back injury following her fourth-round loss to Anna Ivanovic at the Australian Open
00:33last month.
00:34Despite the convincing win, Williams wasn't impressed with her play.
00:53The top-seeded American nonetheless did not show any effects of the back injury that decommissioned
00:57her for a month.
01:01Although she has been one of the most successful players of her generation, Williams has never
01:06won a title in Dubai, but she doesn't seem to care anyway.
01:28Williams advances to the quarterfinals and will play the Serbian World No. 8 Jelena Jankovic.
