PARIS — After playing so infrequently, it's as if Serena Williams is starting from scratch. And then, suddenly, after unleashing one particularly powerful backhand return winner that she punctuated with a shout, Williams was back. "This ability to turn a match around and suddenly be like a superhero, basically — she's normal and suddenly, Poom!" Get through that, and Williams would face either five-time major champion Maria Sharapova or 2016 US Open runner-up Karolina Pliskova. But the 2018 French Open is, first and foremost, about Williams and her return to a Grand Slam stage.
