Karolina Pliskova easily defeated the 42-year-old American. For the first time in five years, two former World No. 1's faced off and with the win, Pliskova improved her head-to-head record against Williams to 3-1. The Czech won a chaotic first set 7-5. Williams' second-serve percentage significantly deteriorated in the second set, allowing Pliskova to cruise to a 7-5, 6-1 win. wta@WTAUp and running in Cincy Former champion @KaPliskova secures a spot in the second round with a 7-5, 6-1 win over Venus Williams.#CincyTennis20428Up and running in Cincy Former champion @KaPliskova secures a spot in the second round with a 7-5, 6-1 win over Venus Williams.#CincyTennis https://t.co/DoiH8EUmgJ Tennis fans expressed their disappointment at the American's loss on Twitter, with the majority advising her to retire along with her younger sister, Serena Williams.

She teamed up with Andy Murray's brother Jamie Murray to play mixed doubles at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. However, their run was cut short in the second round by the pairing of Alicia Barnett and Jonny O'Mara, who won 3-6, 6-4, 7-6(18-16). The entertaining match between the two wildcard teams lasted two hours and 12 minutes on Court 2.

This was followed by another disappointing performance at the Canadian Open where she fell to Jil Teichmann in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3. It isn't yet clear if Williams will play at the US Open, but if she does, it will be her first Major singles event since losing to Ons Jabeur in the second round of Wimbledon 2021. × Rate this story!
