However, things did not go as planned for Venus Williams as her US Open journey was only limited to Round One.

Williams was initially drawn to play Paula Badosa, whose withdrawal made way for the lucky loser, Greet Minnen. But the Belgian had prepared well for the encounter. Minnen completely outplayed the former World No. 1. Venus simply couldn’t hit through her defenses on the rather humid New York night, finally losing 1-6, 1-6.
