"venus-williams"

Williams hasn't competed anywhere on tour since a first-round loss at the Miami Open on March 19, 2024

The actress has recently joined the ranks of Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron and Wimbledon champion Venus Williams for luxury label Dior’s first campaign of 2025.

Williams revealed this week that her first-round defeat to Elina Svitolina at Wimbledon not only derailed her plans for the fourth quarter of 2023, but also impacted the beginning of 2024.

On Tuesday, the 43-year-old suffered a defeat against qualifier Greet Minen in two consecutive sets, with a final score of 6-1, 6-1.

Thiem eases into third round but Wawrinka, Venus Williams make early exits.

Thiem will next play either German Dominik Keopfer or Bolivia's Hugo Dellien in the second round.
