Venus, a regular face at the US Open, was defeated by Belgium\u2019s Uytvanck by <em>1-6, 6-7 (5-7)<\/em> much to the disappointment of the fans as they are very well aware that this could be the last time they see Venus play singles at the US Open.  <\/p>\n<p>This was a special outing for Venus as it was her first appearance at the US Open since 2020 and her 23rd appearance at the tournament. <\/p>\n<p>Venus was very transparent with her performance and attributed the defeat to being out of touch with the sport. While she acknowledged that she scored some good points, she admitted that her skills had rusted. Her <strong>world ranking has also slipped to no. 1,504<\/strong>, given her deteriorating performance in recent years. Venus hasn\u2019t been able to make it past the first round of the US Open since 2019. In 2020, she lost to world no. 20 Karolina Muchova and did not play in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Post her defeat, Venus made a quick exit to prepare for the upcoming doubles event with her sister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/serena-williams-to-retire-from-tennis-after-the-u-s-open\/\">Serena who has confirmed that she will retire at the end of the 2022 US Open<\/a>. The sisters will play together for the first time since the 2018 French Open. According to Venus, Serena came up with the idea to play doubles at the US Open since it was her last appearance.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ugVIdN_AuRE?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Venus and Serena have remained an unbeatable team in every Grand Slam doubles event they have played at.
