Venus Williams at 45, returns to the US Open with a wild card. With a career marked by Grand Slam wins and Olympic success, Venus stands resilient against health challenges, ready to compete again.

Venus Williams to Make Historic US Open Comeback at 45

At 45, Venus Williams makes her US Open comeback with a wild-card entry, marking a historic return. Her career highlights include Grand Slam triumphs, Olympic victories, and a resilient spirit in face of health hurdles.

Venus Williams' US Open Return at 45

Venus Williams will make a historic return at 45 to the US Open, receiving a wild card entry. Her illustrious career boasts multiple Grand Slam victories and Olympic medals, with notable resilience against health challenges.

&nbsp;
New York, Aug 14 (AP) Venus Williams is making a remarkable return to the professional tennis circuit at 45, preparing for her U.S. Open comeback next week. This marks her first Grand Slam involvement in two years.
The U.S. Tennis Association extended Williams a wild-card entry for singles on Wednesday. She becomes the oldest competitor in the event at New York since Renee Richards, who participated at 47 in 1981. Williams has also been granted a wild-card in mixed doubles.
A Legacy Engraved in Tennis History
Venus Williams' accolades are impressive: seven Grand Slam singles titles, 14 in women&rsquo;s doubles alongside her sister Serena, two in mixed doubles, and the record of five Olympic tennis medals.
A Glimpse Back at a Stellar Career
Williams, born in Lynwood, California, debuted on the pro scene in 1994 at age 14, during the WTA tournament in Oakland. She marked a victorious debut against Shaun Stafford, overcoming her 6-3, 6-4, but was edged out by Arantxa S&aacute;nchez Vicario in the second round.
Her Grand Slam debut was in the 1997 French Open, making an early impression by reaching round two. Not long after, she powered through to the U.S. Open final, only to be halted by Martina Hingis.
Memorable Milestones
The Williams sisters&rsquo; competitive spirit came to the fore at the 1998 Australian Open, where Venus clinched a second-round victory over Serena. They&rsquo;ve faced off 31 times as professionals, with Serena eclipsing Venus 19-12 in their overall matchup and 11-5 in Slam showdowns. They celebrated their first women's doubles Grand Slam win together at the 1999 French Open, also seizing the U.S. Open that very year.
In 2000, Venus adorned the Wimbledon stage with her first Grand Slam singles triumph over Lindsay Davenport, becoming the first Black woman to lift the trophy since Althea Gibson in the 1950s. The Williams sisters, having marked the history of tennis as the first sisters to win major singles titles, were just starting their trail of victories.
Williams earned Wimbledon glory four more times, in 2001, 2005, 2007, and 2008, besides her notable run at the Olympics &mdash; bagging golds in singles and doubles in 2000, followed by doubles victories in 2008 and 2012, and a silver medal in mixed doubles in 2016 with Rajeev Ram.
A Battle Against Challenges and Triumphs
The historic Williams vs. Williams Grand Slam final showdown in 2001 saw Venus trump her sister Serena for her second U.S. Open title. From 2002-2003, their riveting sibling rivalry graced four consecutive Slam finals, with Serena clinching all four victories. Ascending to No. 1 in the WTA rankings for the first time in February 2002, Venus held the spot for 11 weeks.
However, the journey wasn't without trials. In 2011, Venus announced her battle with Sj&ouml;gren's syndrome, a debilitating auto-immune disease. Despite these challenges, she experienced a career resurgence in 2016-17, contesting in the finals of the Australian Open and Wimbledon, reaching the semifinals at Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open.
A Triumphant Return
The past years have witnessed Venus grappling with health setbacks, culminating in surgery for uterine fibroids last year, and a 16-month hiatus from the tour. Nonetheless, she returned to the court at the DC Open this July, celebrating wins in both singles and doubles. Despite recent challenges in top-tier tournaments, particularly her exits in the initial Slam rounds, Venus remains a tour-de-force &mdash; a testament to her enduring spirit and grace on the tennis court.

Venus Williams' triumphant return to the D.C. Open was highlighted by a significant singles win, though her journey ended with a loss to Magdalena Frech. Her participation was key for personal achievements.

Venus Williams Returns with Enthusiasm at D.C. Open

Venus Williams returned triumphantly in the D.C. Open, marking a win as the oldest woman at tour level since 2004 despite falling to Magdalena Frech. Engaging positivity and perseverance, she's set for Cincinnati Open.

Venus Williams Shines in D.C. Open Return

Venus Williams returned to action at the D.C. Open, achieving a win as the oldest tour-level singles match victor since 2004, despite ending her run against Magdalena Frech.

Washington, Jul 25 (AP) &mdash; When Venus Williams concluded her quest for a first winning streak since 2019 with a forehand that landed just long, attendees at the D.C. Open's main stadium stood to applaud her. She greeted the ovation with a smile and a signature pirouette and wave, usually reserved for victories.
Williams had not played competitively for over a year. Although her journey in the tournament ended with a 6-2, 6-2 defeat to 24th-ranked Magdalena Frech in the second round on Thursday night, the return to action was significant for the seven-time Grand Slam singles champion and her fans.
&ldquo;Oh, I had so much fun. Not the result I wanted, but a learning experience nonetheless. The essence of sports and life is that the learning never stops,&rdquo; said the 45-year-old Williams.
&ldquo;I got to play numerous matches here, which was definitely a plus. D.C. fans are just epic. I couldn't be happier with my comeback week.&rdquo; Her triumph in the first round against 35th-ranked Peyton Stearns made Williams the oldest woman to win a singles match at the tour level since Martina Navratilova achieved the feat at age 47 in 2004.
This victory marked Williams' first in singles since 2023. She humorously noted that her drive to triumph was partly fueled by the desire to renew her eligibility for the WTA's health insurance plan after being absent for so long.
This hard-court tournament was Williams' first event since March 2024, following a hiatus due to surgery for uterine fibroids.
&ldquo;Access to health care is crucial &mdash; being able to see the best doctors for whatever you&rsquo;re facing is essential,&rdquo; Williams commented. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a humorous moment, but it touches on a serious issue many face.&rdquo;
Williams also claimed a doubles victory in Washington. Playing a total of four matches &mdash; two in singles and two in doubles &mdash; over four days finally took its toll on her.
&ldquo;I felt like I ran out of gas today, unfortunately,&rdquo; Williams remarked. &ldquo;I tried to muster the energy, but couldn't.&rdquo;
The last time Williams secured at least two consecutive wins was August 2019 at the Cincinnati Open, where she achieved three victories before being defeated by Madison Keys in the quarterfinals.
In the match against Frech, Williams initially led 2-1. However, Frech captured seven games in a row, seizing the first set and leading 2-0 in the second.
Frech, a 27-year-old from Poland, achieved her best Grand Slam result by reaching the fourth round of the 2024 Australian Open before losing to Coco Gauff.
&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t even imagine how she pushes herself,&rdquo; Frech said regarding Williams. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s truly remarkable.&rdquo;
The spotlight under the lights was squarely on Williams, whose arrival on the court with a green exercise band was met with loud cheers. Each of Williams' powerful groundstrokes prompted roars from the stadium crowd.
The challenge for Williams was consistently calibrating her shots. On one occasion, she rushed forward to a short ball from Frech only to send her forehand long, handing Frech a 3-2 lead.
Williams would occasionally hang her head or slump her shoulders after mistakes, accumulating 14 unforced errors in the first set, more than double Frech's count. Fans responded with an &ldquo;Awwww&rdquo; before rallying to cheer her on.
Chants of &ldquo;Venus!&rdquo; with rhythmic clapping sounded as Williams broke to close in at 4-2, but she couldn&rsquo;t capture another game.
&ldquo;There are so many lessons to glean from this,&rdquo; Williams noted. &ldquo;I know exactly what I need to improve. The good news is I control the point; I just need to ensure the ball lands in.&rdquo;
Williams has accepted a wild-card invitation to participate in the Cincinnati Open next month.
On Thursday, top-seeded Jessica Pegula was defeated by 2021 U.S. Open runner-up Leylah Fernandez 6-3, 1-6, 7-5. Additionally, Emma Raducanu triumphed over Naomi Osaka in their first encounter, winning 6-4, 6-2 in a clash of former U.S. Open champions.
In the men's draw, top seeds who advanced include No. 1 Taylor Fritz, No. 4 Ben Shelton, No. 6 Frances Tiafoe, No. 7 Alex de Minaur, No. 8 Daniil Medvedev, No. 12 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, and No. 14 Brandon Nakashima. (AP)

Venus Williams, 45, returned to the court with a powerful win at the DC Open, defeating 23-year-old Peyton Stearns and becoming the second-oldest woman to win a WTA singles match.

Venus Williams Shines with Triumph at DC Open at 45

Venus Williams Triumphs at 45: DC Open Victory

Venus Williams, 45, returned to the court with a powerful win at the DC Open, defeating 23-year-old Peyton Stearns and becoming the second-oldest woman to win a WTA singles match.

Venus Williams wanted to send a message &mdash; to herself and to others &mdash; about coming back from a long layoff, about competing in a sport at age 45, about never giving up. Yes, there was something special about just being back on a tennis court Tuesday night.
There also was this: She really, really wanted to win.
And Williams did just that, becoming the second-oldest woman to win a tour-level singles match in professional tennis, delivering some of her familiar big serves and groundstrokes at age 45 while beating Peyton Stearns &mdash; 22 years her junior &mdash; by a 6-3, 6-4 score at the DC Open.
"Each week that I was training, I was, like, Oh, my God, I don't know if I'm good enough yet.' And then there would be weeks where I would leap forward. And there would be two weeks where I was, like, Oh, God, it's not happening.' Even the week leading up, (I thought), Oh, my gosh, I need to improve so much more.' So it's all a head game,&rdquo; Williams said after her first singles match in more than a year and first singles victory in nearly two.
Navratilova is the only woman older than Williams to win a singles match
The only older woman to win a tour-level singles match was Martina Navratilova, whose last triumph came at 47 in 2004.
The former No. 1-ranked Williams had not played singles in an official match since March 2024 in Miami, missing time while having surgery to remove uterine fibroids. She hadn't won in singles since August 2023 in Cincinnati. Until this week, she was listed by the WTA Tour as "inactive." "I'm just constantly praying for good health, so that way I could have an opportunity to play with good health," Williams said. "A lot of this for me is being able to come back and try to play at a level (and) to play healthy."&nbsp;
Venus Williams won four Grand Slam titles before Peyton Stearns was born&nbsp;
Backed by a crowd that clearly was there to see, and support, her at the hard-court tournament in the nation's capital, Williams showed glimpses of the talent she possesses and the skills she displayed while earning all of her Grand Slam titles: seven in singles, 14 in women's doubles &mdash; all alongside younger sister Serena &mdash; and two in mixed doubles.
"I wanted to play a good match," Williams told the fans, then added a phrase that drew appreciative roars: "and win the match." In Tuesday's second game, Williams smacked a return winner to get things started, then delivered a couple of other big responses to break Stearns, a 23-year-old who won singles and team NCAA titles at the University of Texas and is currently ranked 35th.
In the next game, Williams sprinted forward to reach a drop shot and replied with a forehand winner.
The first chorus of cheers arrived when Williams walked out into the main stadium at the DC Open, a 7,000-seat arena that's more than twice as large as where she was for her doubles victory a day earlier. Another came when she strode from the sideline to the center of the court for the coin toss. The noise reached a crescendo when Williams began hitting aces &mdash; at 110 mph and faster &mdash; the way she used to.
Keep in mind: Williams won four Grand Slam trophies before Stearns was born.
Venus Williams hit big serves and groundstrokes just like she always did
"She played some ball tonight,&rdquo; Stearns said. "She was moving really well, which I wasn't expecting too much, honestly. Her serves were just on fire.&rdquo; There also were moments where Williams &mdash; whose fiance was in the stands &mdash; looked as if it had been just as long as it actually has since she competed, including in the opening game, when she got broken at love this way: forehand wide, forehand into the net, forehand long, backhand long.
At the end, it took Williams a bit of extra effort to close things out. She kept holding match points and kept failing to convert them. But eventually, on her sixth chance, Williams powered in a 112 mph serve that Stearns returned into the net. That was it: Williams smiled wide as can be, raised a fist and jogged to the net to shake hands, then performed her customary post-win pirouette-and-wave.
&ldquo;It's not easy. It won't be easy. It's not easy for anyone out here,&rdquo; said Williams, who next faces No. 5 seed Magdalena Frech, who's 27. &ldquo;So I know I'll have to fight for every match. But I'm up for that.&rdquo;

Venus Williams makes her competitive return after over a year, entering the DC Open with a wildcard. While thrilled to be back, she says the only thing missing is sister Serena.

Venus Williams: Return to Tennis with a Smile

Venus Williams Returns to DC Open

Venus Williams makes her competitive return after over a year, entering the DC Open with a wildcard. While thrilled to be back, she says the only thing missing is sister Serena.

Venus Williams is back on the tennis scene, ready to compete for the first time in more than a year, and while she smiled or laughed frequently while discussing her return at the DC Open, there was something that would make her even happier: if her younger sister Serena were along for the ride.
"I keep saying to my team: The only thing that would make this better is if she was here. Like, we always did everything together, so of course I miss her," Venus said when asked about a recent video on social media that showed Serena swinging a racket.
"But if she comes back, I'm sure she'll let y'all know." That, of course, was said with a wide grin. Serena, 43, hasn't played since the 2022 U.S. Open, when she declared she was "evolving" away from the sport she dominated for stretches on the way to 23 Grand Slam singles titles and an additional 14 in doubles with Venus.
"I don't know what she's going to do. I don't ask those questions," Venus said a day before the hard-court tournament in the nation's capital begins.
"I think we always hit the ball, because that's who we are. We're always hitting." She said it was during a recent practice session of hers that Serena showed up and joined in for about 15 or 20 minutes.
"She can take six months off and she clocks it clean," Venus said.
"You can't teach that kind of talent. She's just so good." They both were the best around at one point.
Both reached No. 1 in the rankings. Venus, who turned 45 last month, won seven major singles championships, two at the U.S. Open and five at Wimbledon.
Her last tournament was in March 2024 at the Miami Open, where she exited in the first round. It's been so long that the official WTA Tour website lists her as "inactive." "This is very special for me to come back and play tennis," Venus said.
"I think it's a surprise for the fans &mdash; and a surprise in general, as I hold my cards tight." Sure does.
It came as a bit of a shock to the tennis world when her appearance in Washington via a wild-card invitation was announced a week ago.
Her team had reached out to DC Open chairman Mark Ein via text in April to gauge whether he'd be open to having Venus at an event she last entered in 2022. He said he needed two seconds to reply: "Of course." "She's such an icon of the sport &mdash; and, importantly, both on and off the court," Ein said in an interview.
"So anytime you can have her engaged and have the spotlight on her and everything she's done and continues to do, it's hugely positive." What did she miss the most while away from the tour? "All the times that I had and, of course, the adrenaline, all those things," Venus said.
"Just the pure fun of playing the game, the fun of the challenge, overcoming &mdash; when you play, you overcome so many challenges: your opponents, the conditions, a lot of times you have to overcome yourself. Those things are very exciting." When asked why she's getting back on court, Venus offered a simple response: "Why not?" As for whether this is a one-stop tour or she plans to play elsewhere, she wasn't prepared to say much.
"I'm just here for now, and who knows?" Venus said.
"Maybe there's more. ... But at the moment, I'm focused just on this. I haven't played in a year. There is no doubt I can play tennis, but obviously coming back to play matches, it takes time to get in the swing of things.
"I definitely feel I'll play well. I'm still the same player. I'm a big hitter. I hit big. This is my brand."&nbsp;
