Venus Williams won her first-round matchup at Wimbledon and it was a milestone win for Venus who played at her 90th Grand Slam and 23rd Wimbledon.
It was a good showing from Venus who defeated Buzarnescu in three sets and the 41-year old American moves to the 2nd round. There she will face Ons Jabeur and asked about her she said:
"Ons is one of my favourite players on tour. She is inspiring so many people including me. She will bring a whole new generation of players from North Africa."

Venus was also asked about continuing to play tennis despite her age and she just explained she embraces the challenge of it and it's what she's good at:
"I don't know. I'm good at what I do and you can't win them all. Life is a lot of challenges."
Conversation shifted towards her playing on a smaller court as 5x winner but Venus said:
"I don't really care on which court I play as long as I win. It's a nice court and I have good memories of it so it was like coming home."

mandoist12-11-2026 - Andreeva with 11 games in a row to add to Saba's downward spiral issue !!! Personal feelings aside... Jess Pegula may want to reassess her evaluation of Mirra's abilities.
mandoist12-11-2026 - I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
