Williams looks dejected after a shot during the exhibition match in Abu Dhabi on Saturday  .

After the initial break, Ostapenko latched onto the weak serves of Williams, and several unforced errors helped, as she stormed back into the match to go 4-1 up with two breaks.

Williams struggled with her serve in the second set too, but went ahead 3-0 with a couple of early breaks as she started to hit more confident shots, including several crowd-pleasing double-handed passing shots.

Another break in the ninth game delivered her first set of the comeback.

In the beginning, it felt a little tough. But as the match moved on, I was less afraid. I knew I was not going to fall over and break, said Williams.

The more I played, the more confident I felt that I would be able to go for shots that I was afraid to go for in the first set.

In the super tiebreaker, Ostapenko raced to an 8-2 lead before quelling a brief recovery by Williams.

On court, she said: Motherhood is phenomenal. I was a little worried out there and I looked at my camp and I was like Is Olympia OK?.

But its really good. Its my first time playing in Abu Dhabi so thank you guys for the support.

First matches back are always super incredibly hard, especially after having a baby but it was great, Im glad I could do it here..
