Tuesday turned out to be a day with mixed emotions in the US Open. While fans celebrated the victory of Carlos Alcaraz, the hearts felt heavy after legendary Venus Williams crashed out in the first round of the tournament.
Back at Flushing Meadows at the age of 45, Venus fought bravely against Muchova, forcing a deciding set before bowing out 6-3 2-6 6-1.
"I'm very proud of how I played," said Williams, who was beaten 6-1 6-1 on her last U.S. Open appearance in 2023.
"I think for me getting back on the court was about giving myself a chance to play more healthy," added Williams, who disclosed in 2011 that she had been diagnosed with Sjogren's, an autoimmune disease that causes fatigue and joint pain.
"When you play unhealthy, it's in your mind. It's not just how you feel. You get stuck in your mind too. So it was nice to be freer."
