Aus Open: Venus Williams Bows Out In First Round After Loss To Olga Danilovic
John Cain Arena: Seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams’ historic return to the Australian Open ended in a first-round defeat as she went down 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 to Serbia’s Olga Danilovic at the John Cain Arena in Melbourne on Sunday.
At 45 years, Williams became the oldest player to compete in the Australian Open in the Open Era, drawing loud support from the Melbourne crowd in her first-round clash. The American showed flashes of her trademark power but was unable to sustain momentum across three sets against the 24-year-old Danilovic.
Williams edged a tight opening set before Danilovic struck back with greater consistency from the baseline in the second. The Serbian maintained her composure in the decider, breaking Williams at crucial moments to seal the match in just over two hours.
