The old girl is in action.

Lost her first serve, but she's as powerful as ever. Maybe too powerful as she constantly overhits to lose her first serve, but control it to break back, 1-1.

The old lady defies the odds to take her first set in over a year 6-3 against Peyton Stearns.

The power is still there, the movement not too bad.

Let's see what she does in the second.

The Queen. What a great match. 6-3, 6-4.

And Venus is now off to the US Open.

Oh, to be Venus Williams this week.

To be 45 years old and beating women about half her age in both singles and doubles. To be 30 years into your professional tennis career and knocking off a solid up-and-comer and the 2022 NCAA singles champion in Peyton Stearns, the world No. 35.

Williams, the seven-time Grand Slam singles champion, walked onto the stadium court at the Citi Open in Washington, D.C. as the sun was setting but played as though it was rising on her career. She had not played a WTA Tour match since March of 2024. She had not won one since 2023. The WTA Tour website doesn’t even list her as having a ranking.

Class is class, even in old age

I am not trying to take anything away from Venus's win, but in the women's game, after the top 15 rated players, any player could beat any other player on many days. Inconsistency is common
