Venus Williams, the seven-time Grand Slam champion, is unsure of her future plans after her early exit from the US Open. The 44-year-old American tennis player, who is ranked 490th in the world, lost to 15th seed Liudmila Samsonova in the first round of the tournament. Williams, who has been plagued by injuries and inconsistent form in recent years, admitted that she is still trying to figure out her schedule for the remainder of the season.
Despite her uncertain future, Williams emphasized that she is still passionate about tennis and is not ready to retire. She stated that she is taking things one tournament at a time and is focusing on enjoying the game. Williams also expressed her gratitude to her fans, saying that she appreciates their support and hopes to continue competing at a high level.
The US Open exit marks another early departure for Williams in a Grand Slam tournament this year. She has not won a major title since the 2008 Wimbledon Championships and has struggled to find consistency in her game. However, Williams remains a beloved figure in the tennis world, and her dedication to the sport is evident in her continued participation despite facing numerous challenges.
