Venus Williams won’t let this setback affect her love for the game.
Following the August 25th first round defeat at the 2025 US Open against Karolína Muchová, the tennis star expressed feelings of freedom in returning to the court after a two-year absence, sharing her experiences shortly afterward.
Venus shared with reporters after the game, as reported by CNN, that she had a somewhat sluggish beginning, but she emphasized it’s not necessarily a negative point. She explained that due to playing fewer matches recently, she is still adjusting and finding her rhythm. Even though she didn’t secure a victory today, Venus expressed pride in her performance.
In truth, the woman who was 45 years old wasn’t only determined to win the game; it was also her goal to demonstrate her fitness to compete in the U.S. Open for the first time since 2023. Venus aimed to show that she could make a comeback to the tournament in peak health, having had surgery for uterine fibroids – non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus – last July.
As a committed athlete, I found my return to the court to be an opportunity for me to engage in a more holistic game. It offered a chance to play with better health, both physically and mentally. When one plays while unwell, it’s not just about how you feel; it extends to your thoughts as well. You can find yourself trapped in a cycle of negative thinking. So, stepping back onto the court felt liberating and refreshing.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d say I felt an unprecedented level of audience support during my recent comeback on the court. Being engaged to actor Andrea Preti didn’t make me any less confident, but knowing that the crowd was firmly behind me added a touch of sweetness to this victory. I’ve played many matches, won seven Grand Slam singles titles, but never have I experienced such unwavering support. Even when I dropped the first two games, they stood by my side, cheering every point. It wasn’t just their enthusiasm that mattered; it was the fact that they were there for me, regardless of the outcome. I could sense the people in this stadium, the audience in the United States, and spectators worldwide were rooting for me. The energy was palpable, making each point a celebration.
Venus’ carefree remarks were made about four months after she playfully hinted about retiring from tennis. In an April 1 recap video of her time at the WTA tournament, she admitted, “For the first time in my life, I don’t have a plan.” As an athlete and a player, there was always a strategy like, “I’ll play this tournament to prepare for that one.” Now, it feels more like, “I enjoy playing. I’ll play every day,” she added, implying that if she feels ready, she will compete. Keep reading to discover all the celebrities taking in the matches at Arthur Ashe Stadium this year…
