Michelle Kaufman: Serena Williams lost, but Wimbledon won with her return. Medvedev should be there, too.

Wimbledon got underway this week with the thrilling (albeit brief) return of 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams after a yearlong hiatus.

Williams, who turns 41 in September and had not played a singles match in 364 days, looked hungry as ever and roared as loud as ever as she shook off the rust, battled for three hours and nearly beat Harmony Tan, a woman 16 years her minor, in a dramatic loss that ended 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7).

Welcome back, Serena! We missed you. No 40-year-old Mom can do what you do. Hope to see you at the U.S. Open.
