At 45, Venus Williams proved once again why she’s a legend. Teaming up with Canadian star Leylah Fernandez, she brought energy, experience, and packed crowds to Flushing Meadows. Their memorable run came to an end in the quarter-finals against top seeds Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova, who claimed a 6-1, 6-2 victory.
Despite the loss, Venus walked off Louis Armstrong Stadium to cheers and love from fans, waving with her trademark grace. If this does turn out to be her final US Open, she leaves with moments that will be remembered for years. But retirement? That’s not on her mind.
“I think after this tournament I can really see where I want to improve, what I can work on,” Venus shared, reflecting on her performance. She admitted wishing she could’ve done more for Fernandez but said the experience gave her valuable momentum.
While she hasn’t confirmed her next steps, one thing is clear: Venus isn’t done yet. Her drive, her spirit, and her legacy continue to inspire fans around the world.
