Alexis olympia, almost a year ago. last night, she made quick work in her opening match, winning 6-4, 6-0. remember, this is someone who won a grand slam while she was pregnant. stephanie ruhle sat down with serena before the open began to talk about balancing work and motherhood and how she answers her critics. >> serena, welcome back to new york. i like to say new yorkers go big. you go bigger. this week alone, your daughter turns 1, and the u.s. open starts. >> its been an amazing year. havin...

Comeback, if you break it down. for me, i was always there mentally. i was always watching and being a part of it. i never wanted to hang up my racket at that point. im still trying to compete and win grand slams and, most of all, do it while i have a daughter. >> does it show how tough people are on women? im guessing when your husband went back to work after olympia was born, no one called it a comeback tour for him. he went back to work. >> exactly, right? isnt that weird? it is true. no one ...

Faith too. im not quite as convinced that whole tradition is dead or dying or couldnt be -- we cant have a comeback in a different way. both bipartisanship and standing up for liberty, the civility, the decency, the courage. you know, thats an important part of it. just being willing to take some risks in politics and obviously mccain having gone through what hed gone through. the risks seemed a little less daunting i think to a lot of these other characters who -- for whom you know having a tou...
