Serena Williams' 2018 schedule: French Open, Wimbledon, U.S. Open all planned

After taking a year long break from tennis following the birth of her daughter, Serena Williams is officially back to compete in 2018.

She withdrew from the Australian Open in January after she said she wasn't where she wanted to be physically, but made her return at the U.S. Fed Cup match on Feb. 11. She's also scheduled to play in an exhibition of sorts when the Tie Break Tens takes place March 5 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

With some question as to which official events and how many Williams will participate in this year, her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, revealed her plans to play in many of the major tournaments, including all three remaining grand slams. He added that the load would be lighter than normal.

"She can’t do seasons like 2013 or 2014," said Mouratoglou in an interview with The New York Times . "In 2013, she won 11 tournaments. That was herculean. She doesn’t have the same age, and I’m not sure she even wants that anymore. The focus for her will be on the big moments."

Williams will compete at Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome, the French Open, Wimbledon, one hard court event still to be decided in August, the U.S. Open and the WTA Finals in Singapore if she makes it into the top eight. Mouratoglou also added that both he and Williams were confident in her return to tennis.
