Former World No.1 Venus Williams is currently going through a pretty rough phase in her career. The American player is on a 5-match losing streak at the moment as she last won a match at the Australian Open 2021. In her recent clash against Sorana Cirstea, she lost a close battle and as a result, got eliminated from the Internationaux de Strasbourg 2021.
Williams is 40 right now, and it is surely not going to be easy for her. However, the 7-time Grand Slam champion is keeping her head high and seems confident. In a recent Instagram picture that she posted right after the match against Cirstea, she looked quite motivated. She even wrote an inspirational message- revealing her feelings at the moment.

“Didn’t quite get the win today but the look was cute. Can’t stop progress. Next one,” wrote Venus in the Instagram caption.
Venus was definitely unhappy with her poor performance during the match. However, she is not giving up her hope and mentioned that she wouldn’t stop her progress. She even stated that she is ready to face the next challenges.
Venus Williams in the 2021 season so far
Venus has had a really poor season so far. As of now, she has a 2-6 win-loss ratio on tour and hasn’t looked that confident in her matches. Moreover, a thing that is missing from her game is her strong and accurate serves. Stats show that the former World No.1 is not serving that great in the recent past.
