Venus Williams open to the vibrant defeat of Carolina Moshva Open US Tennis 2025 star-news.press/wp

On an unforgettable evening in New York, Venus Williams showed another demonstration of its permanent greatness while fighting at night with Carolina Mustova, making the eleventh seed life difficult in two intense hours before falling 6-3, 2-6, 6-1 in the first round of the United States of the open.

While Williams was walking across the intestine of Arthur Ash, to the stadium, the last 45 -year -old appearance occurred in the Grand Slam championship at her home at a remarkable date. On August 25, 1997 exactly 28 years ago, this stadium was opened for the first time. Later that day, the 17 -year -old Williams was one of the first players to compete on the field because she made her for the first time in the United States for the first time there, the beginning of her huge to the final.

Many have changed in the three decades that Williams spent in playing professional tennis, but at the age of 45, her passion for sports is not preserved. She was here again, just as she was determined to give her everything. She found herself in a difficult match against the eleventh classified Mustová, which is the semi -finals of last year. Things were not easy on Muchová recently and are still trying to find its shape after injury to the left wrist, which led to its marginalization for several months, but it is one of the most talented players in this sport.

Although there is a full crowd inside the largest tennis court in the world, the opening games played an embarrassing silence due to the unstable mistakes of Williams. She looked more than a slow step in every ball and its timing was stopping. Lower 0-2, 0-40, things look dark.

Then, suddenly, Williams came to life. I found that the destroyer first serves the ball and spoils it off both wings, where Mustová binds away from the foundation line and placed it under uncomfortable pressure. She continued to move forward, and always look for opportunities to extract a shot of air marks. Each successful point included a roar from the New York crowd, who has not always supported it during its main years.

Although her second service betrayed her at the end of the first group, Williams entered the second, which encouraged her how her game was measured against one of the best players in the world, and a great level performance. With age, certain parts of their game deteriorated naturally, but the basics carry: a large meal, unnecessary in it, attacking the bullets and designing it to close the network. Muchová finally recovered in the final group, forcing Williams more frequently defensive sites while the victory was closed.

After that, Williams expressed her pride in her performance and felt her inability to maintain her strong level because of her lack of recent matches. “I love playing,” she said. “My game has appeared a lot since (last month). I have tried very much as much as I could get rid of any rust, but at the end of the day, there is only much that could be accomplished in three or four games. There were only some shots that I missed – this type of shots revolve around training, and these are the types of things that can not only be abandoned today.”

When Williams announced for the first time her return, many people were skeptical about whether the 45 -year -old could have been competing with elite tennis players. After this positive performance, most of the press conference Williams focused on whether she was already ready to compete frequently. Williams do not intend to play after the United States Open or outside the United States, but she did not rule out the competition next year. “Are there any championships in the states? Can anyone move the tournament here? “I don’t know that I am ready to travel so far at this stage of my career,” she said.

Williams recently revealed that she had fought with fibroids for many years, the tumors that develop in the womb and around them caused great pain and great bleeding, which had a great impact on its career. Her health problems made this special match more symbolic. Williams said: “When I think about the match that I played against (Muchová) in 2020, I was very uncomfortable,” Williams said. “I was not fine. I was suffering from severe pain. Today is day and night how much I felt better, so I am very grateful to give me the opportunity to feel better, and at this rate, I have a real chance.”

Last year, Williams underwent an open surgery to remove muscle tumor to remove fibroids, a major surgery that was a major concern for her. Part of its motives for continuing to compete in its advanced age was simply able to experience the exercise she loves without suffering.

“What I have proven to myself? I think for me to go back to the field was about giving myself an opportunity to play more healthy. When you play unhealthy, this is in your mind. It is not just what you feel. You are stuck in your mind too,” said Williams, her eyes from tears. “So … it was good to be more free.”
