You have to be incredibly good to do what Venus Williams did this morning at the WTA 500 in Washington. Without playing a match since March 2024. Without winning a match since August 2023. Having turned 45 last month. It doesn't matter, those are just numbers. What matters is the love that the American exudes for this sport that has given her so much and continues to do so. On the court, the seven-time Grand Slam champion was able to defeat Peyton Stearns, currently ranked #35, with a score of 6-3, 6-4. A miracle built on her serve and forehand, her two main weapons. A historic night for the American to confirm that she hasn't returned to the circuit just to stroll around. We will see her in the second round facing Magdalena Frech.
