The American tennis player, Venus Williams, has once again proven her spot in the sport. While she is getting ready for the US Open, she participated in the Canadian Open and displayed how she still has a lot of tennis to play. Although during her match against Madison Keys in the first round, the 43-year-old American tennis pro showed off some incredible tennis prowess, it was just not a good day for her!

And to lift her spirits even after losing the match, her fellow American sent the seven-time Grand Slam champion a pretty impressive message. Well, Reilly Opelka recently commented on Williams’ outstanding performance during her Canadian Open match.
