Venus Williams, 45, captured her first victory in an official match in 709 days. It was a magical night for her and everyone who loves the sport.
The juicy tidbit emerged as the former world No. 1 celebrated her victory over Peyton Stearns at the DC Open, making Williams, 45, the oldest player to win a tour-level singles match since Martina Navratilova did at age 47 in 2004. Williams had not played a match in well over a year.
