Serena Williams is back at Indian Wells for the first time in 14 years, and the world's top-ranked women's player is in a forgiving mood. She's stayed away from the BNP Paribas Open since winning the 2001 title as a 19-year-old, getting booed by the fans for what happened a day earlier, when she was to play older sister Venus in a semifinal and Venus withdrew because of injury 20 minutes before the start. She will play Monica Niculescu of Romania in a second-round match Friday night. Caroline Wozniacki, one of Williams' closest friends in tennis, is among several players glad to see her return.
