Williams sets sights on summer return

Serena Williams has set her sights on a return to action by early summer after undergoing emergency surgery as a result of a blood clot in her lung earlier this week.

The 29-year-old admitted the last few days had been “extremely hard, scary, and disappointing” after it was confirmed she had received treatment on Monday for a haematoma, suffered as a result of a pulmonary embolism which was diagnosed last week.
