Venus Williams, back at the US Open at age 45,...
There are no more Azzurri in play in the U.S. tournament. The 45-year-old Williams’ fairy tale stops in the second round.
She did so at the Mubadala Citi DC Open, the WTA 500 in Washington, beating Peyton Stearns, world number 35, 6-3 6-4.
At 45, the U.S. tennis player won the doubles match along with partner Hailey Baptiste. She will also be at the US Open.
“If Venus Williams is still able to win matches at the age of 43, the level of women’s tennis has dropped.”
“I am surprised that Camila Giorgi is not number one in the world,” said the U.S. tennis player.
