Venus Williams was triumphant in her first official singles match since March 2024, making history as the second-oldest woman to win a tour-level singles match at 45 years old as she defeated Peyton Stearns (6-3, 6-4) in the first round of Mubadala DC Citi Open. Only Martina Navratilova has won a tour-level singles match at an older age, doing so at the age of 47 in 2004.
