Age-defying Venus Williams makes Australian Open history but bows out in round one

At 45, Venus Williams became the oldest woman to compete in the Australian Open singles main draw, entering on a wildcard. She led 4-0 in the deciding set before Olga Danilovic rallied to win 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-4 in Melbourne. Williams delivered big serves and winners and even saved two break points in a marathon 14-minute service game, but could not close it out. The seven-time major winner is coming off a five-match skid and will shift focus to doubles at the tournament as she maps her 2026 schedule.

Venus Williams' comeback at the Australian Open ends in tight first-round defeat

Returning from more than a year away, Venus Williams’ Australian Open campaign ended in a close first-round loss after two near-identical results: she and her fans celebrated a milestone return, but she followed up with six straight tour-level defeats, including first-round losses at the US Open and Australian Open that were settled in the final sets. Williams had a brief comeback run at Washington in mid-2025, where she beat Peyton Stearns, but her form since has been uneven. Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash argued for selective wildcards at majors, saying Williams deserves one if she’s in form, while stressing it shouldn’t be automatic. Williams says she’s committed to playing more tournaments despite being short on match practice.
