Defending champion Serena Williams survived a hard-fought first-round encounter with Aravane Rezai to advance 6-3 3-6 6-1 at Wimbledon.

Williams broke down in tears after securing only her second victory since last year's SW19 title win following a near 12-month lay-off.

"To come back at Wimbledon and win is just awesome," she told BBC Sport.
