now. it's incredible. >> yes, it is an incredible story. this is an emotional return to indian wells, california last night for serena williams. she hadn't stepped foot on the court since this ugly scene in 2001. she was booed and she and her family hit with racially charged insults. she says she has forgiven everyone and now it's time to move on and be strong. it was a lot different scene this time fred. serena heard the crowd cheer. she got a standing ovation. it moved her. she got a little emotional and teary-eyed. but then the world number one got back to doing what she does best and that's slamming the court. serena won in straight sets 7-5, 7-5. after the match, she admitted she was nervous but knew this moment was much bigger than that. >> it was a really big statement, you know. and i felt like you know even to have an opportunity to have someone mention a statement like that was quite interesting.
