43-year-old veteran Williams, failed to win 2 consecutive WTA tours in 4 years
Venus Williams (533rd, USA), a 43-year-old old veteran, lost two consecutive victories on the Women’s Professional Tennis (WTA) tour in four years.
Williams lost 1-2 (6-1 2-6 1-6) to China’s Jeong Chin-won (24th) in the second round of the women’s singles at the WTA Tour Cincinnati Open held in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA on the 17th (Korean time).
After winning the first set, Williams led the game score 2-0 in the second set, but then gave up the initiative due to Chung Chin-won’s offensive, and eventually lost both sets and fell to her knees.
Williams, who won against a top 20 player in the world for the first time in four years since 2019, defeated No. 16 Veronica Kudermetova (Russia) 2-0 (6-4 7-5) in her last round. He tried to win two consecutive tour events, but was unfortunately unsuccessful.안전놀이터
Her 1980-born Williams has continued her active career by consistently competing even after her younger sister, Serena Williams (retired), has left the court.
Although her recent performance has been poor due to her senescence early on, Williams is enjoying her game itself.
Now, Williams is heading to the US Open, the final event of her season. Although she is ranked 533rd in the world, she received a wild card from the organizers and qualified for the event.
Williams has won her last 2000 and 2001 US Open women’s singles. At last year’s tournament, she was eliminated in the first round of singles.
