So excited to see Venus back out there!

[Pyotr]

Venus lost 6-4 1-6 4-6

Lead 3-0 in third set before
losing it.

Heard some very good serving and
groundstrokes. Hope she can build
on this and have better luck in Canada.

Venus didn't save a single break point, still struggling with her nerves

On another note Gauff beat Osaka, its getting a little suspect why Osaka can't win anymore..

Vee just received a USO WC. She was competitive against Pliskova.

I was surprised at how good she looked against Pliskova, especially that first set and being up a short lived break. I was expecting a routing. Also, Venus’ outfit! The midriff, she looks to be
in very good shape.

Former Champ easily gets the USO WC.

Question, Venus seems to have started
committing herself to tennis again. I see many assuming Venus will retire with Serena, but I don’t get that vibe. I know she’s said in the past they’d retire together, but both are at different places in their lives. I would not at all be surprised if Venus kept going without Serena.
