Venus Williams would have liked to magically disappear from Arthur Ashe Stadium, the center of the US Open, the Grand Slam tournament that dominated in 2000 and 2001, titles that tied the five individuals conquered at Wimbledon.
At 43, she arrived in Flushing Meadows with the style of a New York supermodel. She dresses up on the court as a glamorous tennis Barbie. But the truth is stranger than fiction. And it is now being said that the former racket figure is far from optimally physically prepared to face the associated challenges.
No fairy tale, but nightmare. They lost 6-1 and 6-1 against a rival called back from the previous round due to the absence of Paula Badosa, the Belgian Greet Minnen, 26 years old and number 97, who has almost no Grand Slam background.
She defeated Venus Williams, who was playing her 100th match in 24 US Open matches, reaching Grand Slam 93.
This season they have hit 7 out of 10 games. He lost just four contested in 2022. Injuries have marked his career lately.
Her sister Serena Williams became a mother for the second time. Venus continues on the circuit, based on accepting invitations because the ranking is not high enough to enter the tables. It is the 410 in the world.
It is enough to see who will tire first, if the events that provide wild cards for him to compete or he himself decided to put down the racket. His sister never officially said she was leaving. He left a door open just in case. He is 41 years old.
