Venus Williams faced disappointment at the 2021 Wimbledon Championship
Venus Williams kicked off her 2021 Wimbledon Championship campaign in style. The former World No. 1 recorded her 90th Grand Slam win in the first round of the tournament. However, the senior Williams’ sister couldn’t keep up against 23-year-old Ons Jabeur and lost her next game in straight sets. A disappointed Venus then turned her focus to the mixed-doubles event where she paired up with Australia’s Nick Kyrgios.
Fans couldn’t contain their excitement at hearing the news of the two personalities teaming up. They were excited and waited impatiently to see them in action together. The crowd expected thorough entertainment in the pair’s first match and it was delivered. However, Nick had to retire from the tournament because of an abdominal injury shortly after, and it was a disappointing tournament for the former Wimbledon Champion.
