Venus Williams surpasses Roger Federer and sister Serena as she is on the verge of making an unprecedented record at US Open 2022.

Let us know in the comments. However, they had a tough draw, as they will face the Czech pair Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova in their opening match. Although she has not announced any such news, her form might be a concern for her, which could force her into retirement as well. Apart from Federer and Serena, Feliciano Lopez, the Spanish tennis player, also played in 81 Grand Slam tournaments. It is worth noting that she received a wild card at this year’s US Open. Today, legendary American tennis player Venus Williams will make her Grand Slam singles return at the US Open.

“She’s a legend, she won so many Grand Slams so I knew she would raise her level and take the energy of the crowd,” Van Uytvanck said. “So Venus, of course, as always very low-key, Venus will probably finish the last match and be like, yeah, by the way, that's it. “I think that it would very much surprise me if Venus Williams doesn't retire as well at the U.S. Will we see Venus Williams back on the singles court at the U.S. “It'll be interesting to see what Venus does now because I just can't see one playing without the other,” Stubbs added. A winner of 49 singles titles, including seven Grand Slam crowns, Venus won the U.S. But after Van Uytvanck hit a crosscourt winner in the tiebreak to earn a match point, the Belgian closed it out with a volley winner. Williams quickly walked off the court. That's what matters most is to do things on her own terms. It was just the second time she has lost in the first round of her home Slam. Playing in her 23rd U.S. Open, her older sister Venus could not follow suit with a victory.

The men's and women's tours took that step after the All England Club barred Russian and Belarussian players from competing because of the war against Ukraine. She missed the event that she won in 2000 and 2001 last year with an injury. In what could be the final tournament of her career, she is also playing doubles with her older sister for the first time since the 2018 French Open.

At 30-40, Paire went back to the funky-volley well once more, only this time it left Norrie with a sitter forehand to put away. The last game, in which Paire served, summed up both days adequately. Still, hope springs eternal among US Open fans, and they bunched themselves around little Court 5 for the chance to see a two-time Slam champ from up close, against a quality opponent in Clara Tauson. That’s probably too much to hope for now, so her fans will have to enjoy a day when disaster was averted, and we saw her rewarded for playing her best tennis again.—Steve Tignor Sometimes it takes you by surprise, in a match that she seemed to have locked up—like her agonizing losses to Yulia Putintseva in Rome and Kaia Kanepi in Paris. 1 Garbiñe Muguruza, Linda Noskova was in a battle of her own against countrywoman Marie Bouzkova on Court 8. Both women settled in and held serve to force a tiebreaker. Van Uytvanck can hit with plenty of gusto, though, as she showed in the first set, forcing Williams onto her back foot right from the start with slapshot forehands and precise, laser-like backhands. But if you watched Fernandez’s practice session this evening, you would have seen how neither last year’s run to the finals, nor yesterday’s win, nor tomorrow’s opponent, had anything to do with what she was doing in those minutes when day makes its towards night.

Venus Williams won't be joining her younger sister Serena in the second round of the U.S. Open after falling to Alison Van Uytvanck on Tuesday.

It has been a day of mixed returns for the Australian contingent at Flushing Meadows with James Duckworth joining Nick Kyrgios in the second round.

Venus had never lost in the opening round at the US Open until 2020, then was absent last year. The 19-year-old triumphed 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. Swiatek, the two-time French Open champion, got sharper as the match went on. “I play the game to win,” he said. Nor was the result. Tennis, in general,” Van Uytvanck said.

Alison Van Uytvanck defeated seven-time Grand Slam winner Venus Williams in straight sets Tuesday at the US Open.

She lost in nine Grand Slam singles finals -- seven times to Serena after beating her in the 2001 US Open final. Even if you conservatively give her, say, five more majors, that would be a dozen -- three times as many as Naomi Osaka, who is next in line among active players with four. Subtract Serena from the active player list and it would be -- will be? Unlike Serena, who plays a second-round match Wednesday night, Venus didn’t quite rise to the occasion. In the second set she won a spectacular six-deuce, 13-minute game -- only to be broken two games later. It’s ironic that it’s only because of Serena’s dazzling success that Venus finds herself somewhat unsung.

At deuce, Alcaraz picks the ball off his laces to play a sublime volley at the net, before ripping a forehand down the line to seal break point and the second set. Back to Evans, who is really motoring in his second set against Vesely, who is looking a little fatigued. Having won the opening set against Sebastian Baez, the Spaniard faces three break points when 0-40 down, grafts his way back to deuce in a great show of courage. The Brit is yet to face a break point and has just two more games for the win. So it’s all square there and into a deciding set, with both players withdrawing from Louis Armstrong for a break from the heat. The 20th seed rips a serve out wide to seal a service game to love. Dan Evans speaks: “I played very well I thought,” he says, “it’s nice to get back on the match court – it’s been a while since Cincinnati so I was a bit nervous but it was nice to get out and play. It took just a few fleeting points of the first-round match between Cameron Norrie and Benoît Paire for it to become clear that the French player was in one of his moods. A couple of tired shots from Sinner give the forceful Altmaier a break point, which he takes after a long rally when the German pushes Sinner back and forces him into a miscued forehand. Following a lengthy treatment and comfort break during which seemed to get quite boozy in the stands, they’re back out for the third set. Venus then rolls back the years with a belting forehand down the line to bring it back to deuce, and this time the Belgian secures the service hold. She leads 5-4 and Venus must now serve to stay in the match.

"Right now I'm just focused on the doubles," she said, adding with a smile that it was Serena's idea. "It was definitely the longest time I have been away from tennis and been without a racquet in my hand," she said referring to her yearlong gap between competitive matches that ended earlier this month. Williams was also asked about her sister moving away from the sport and whether Serena has needed her support.
