Five years? Well, indeed, almost five years since the last time Venus Williams had played an official tournament on clay. Specifically, since the Roland Garros in 2021, when she was eliminated in the early stages by Ekaterina Alexandrova. This Tuesday, she faced the same fate in the Mutua Madrid Open against Kaitlin Quevedo, although the American did not leave Spain sad,

“I started practicing on clay a couple of weeks after Miami. I haven't really played on clay in years, but I really enjoy this surface, it's fun. I won't be able to play in Rome because I have other commitments, unfortunately, so I'm really super sad about that. My husband is Italian, so we're sad not to be able to be there, but we would love to continue with the clay court swing,” the champion assessed.

Kaitlin Quevedo made a big debut at the Mutua Madrid Open 2026. The Spaniard, who received a Wild Card to play her first main draw at the Caja Mágica, possibly achieved the best victory of her career considering the stage and her opponent, Venus Williams. The seven-time Grand Slam champion continues her series of invitations, now ten consecutive ones, but still fails to capitalize on them. This time, against a Quevedo who gave her no chances, she secured the victory with a score of 6-2, 6-4. This way, the 20-year-old enters the second round of the Madrid tournament, where she awaits Hailey Baptiste.

Francesca Jones had a nice gesture with Venus Williams after eliminating her in the first round of the Miami Open, with a message that highlights the legend that the veteran American player is. "I told her that I say goodnight to you and Serena every night because you are still on the wall of my room. I am very grateful to have had this opportunity. When I was five, my father took me to Wimbledon to watch the Williams sisters play, and if it hadn't been for that experience, I really don't know if I would have continued my tennis career the way I have," she confessed.

Venus Williams continues to struggle to take advantage of the wildcards she receives. The 45-year-old tennis player wants to keep extending her tennis career and compete in singles draws. However, the physical aspect and age are increasingly important, as she has not secured a victory since July last year. Since then, only defeats, the latest at this Miami Open 2026 against Francesca Jones, who won the match with a score of 7-5, 7-5, after an hour and 52 minutes.

Venus Williams is not getting the desired results in the major tournaments where she has received a wildcard in recent months. In fact, she has not won an individual match since July 2025. For this reason, a former number one like Yevgeny Kafelnikov has called for her to stop receiving invitations to make way for new talents. "I have incredible respect for Venus Williams' achievements, but it's time now. The main draw invitation would be helpful for many girls," he stated in 'Hard Court'.

At 45 years old, Venus Williams still has the hunger to compete intact. Although she has yet to win a match so far in 2026, the former world number one ranks second in a statistic that showcases her longevity. 31 years and 125 days is the time that has elapsed between the first and last tournament played by Venus, an astonishing fact. Only Martina Navratilova surpasses her, with 32 years and 107 days. However, as long as the American tennis player remains eager to compete, she could break that record around this time next year.
