Latest News: Venus Williams Continues Comeback at U.S. Open
Grand Slam champion Venus Williams is continuing her tennis comeback at the 2025 U.S. Open, albeit with disappointing results so far.
The 45-year-old made her first appearance at a major tournament in two years, competing with Reilly Opelka in mixed doubles at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City. The duo lost their first-round match 4-2, 5-4 against Andrey Rublev and Karolína Muchová on August 20.
However, Williams will be back on the court in Flushing Meadows for women’s singles play, which begins Sunday, August 24, at 11 a.m. She received a wild-card entry for the main draw, where she will be a fan favorite as she pursues her eighth career Grand Slam title.
