Venus Williams, the seven-time Grand Slam singles champion, announced her return from a 16-month hiatus at this week’s DC Open on Sunday, saying on Sunday that she is unsure of anything beyond that.

The 45-year-old American overcame a serious health issue last year and made the decision to accept a wildcard into the first hardcourt set-up for the US Open, the US Capital Tournament.

Williams said, “I believe I know what I want to do, but I don’t always want to discuss it.” “I’m just here for now,” I said. Who knows, then? There might be more. I keep my cards firmly in my hands, but I’m only focusing on this at the moment.

Peyton Stearns, a 23-year-old American who ranks 34th in the world, will play Williams in the opening game. Last year at Rabat, Stewarts won her only WTA title on clay.

Serena Williams, the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, hasn’t played since her first-round defeat in Miami last year, which is her older sister.

Venus Williams stated, “My personal goal is to enjoy myself right now and enjoy the moment,” not put too much pressure on myself.

“I’m not sure if I’m going to define success at this time by sticking to my process and believing in myself.” That’s challenging, especially after a layoff. Therefore, my objectives are those.

Venus Williams, the champion of the 2000 Sydney Olympics singles, has won two US Open titles and five Wimbledon titles.

At the Taiwan Open in 2019, she won the most recent of her 49 WTA titles. She played her final full-length tour in that year.

Williams stated, “I definitely believe I’ll play well.” “I’m the same player as ever.” I excel in everything. I made a big hit. My company is this.

It’s about going big and actually putting it in, they say. Therefore, I will work on this. In the court, place it. My main objective is to achieve that.

Tennis was by no means her top priority a year ago.

Yes, I was very afraid to get healthy. You see, she said, “This time, a year ago, I was getting ready for surgery.” I was just trying to get healthy, so I had no choice but to play tennis or compete in the US Open.

“To come back and be able to play and hopefully enjoy myself is a great opportunity to come back from this last year because I have been through a lot physically,” he said.

Fun of the challenge, really?

Williams’ recovery from a wildcard included some motivation, and a trip to Wimbledon provided her with it.

“I had been hitting the ball all the way up to the hard courts.” It’s the surface that I prefer to sleep on. Williams described her decision to play in Washington as “all those different factors”.

“I spent a day at Wimbledon this year, and it was so beautiful and exciting. I recall all the experiences I had, and of course the adrenaline and those that came with them.

“I believe it’s just the fun of the challenge, the fun of the victory,” he said. That is very exciting.

Naomi Osaka of Japan, a four-time Grand Slam champion, is among Williams’ seven Slam singles titles, which match the rest of the Washington field.

After Daniel Dubois was crushed by the Ukrainian, Tyson Fury claims to be the only fighter who can defeat him in the two-time undisputed heavyweight title match.

In the fifth round, Usyk won the IBF title against his British foe on Saturday, further cementing his position as one of boxing’s all-time greats.

Before being forced to resign from his IBF title, the undefeated 38-year-old added the title to his WBC, WBA, and WBO belts when he defeated Fury in Riyadh in May of last year by split decision.

The British boxer made a unanimous decision in December after falling to Usyk, who was once more in Saudi Arabia, but he already made it known that he wanted to fight once more in the ring earlier this month.

The “Gypsy King” has grittly questioned the two defeats and is confident in defeating Usyk.

Fury, 36, uploaded a video of himself to Instagram while on a run that was rife with expletives.

Oleksandr Usyk deserves a loud shout-out, he declared.

Congratulations to both men, but Oleksandr Usyk is aware that there is only one man who can beat him because he gave a fantastic performance tonight over Daniel Dubois, a talented, young game lad who came for a good tear-up.

The world is aware of it because I once did it. I accepted it as a man’s. ”

I won those fights, he continued, “No matter what anyone wants to say.” 100% guaranteed, guaranteed. One man is all there is. GK (Gypsy King) throughout the day and night. Get up, folks! ”

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren acknowledged that a third fight with Usyk would be “big,” but reaffirmed that Joseph Parker must take the WBO.

Tyson has made it very clear to me that he would love to compete at Wembley. And I’m confident that it will be a significant fight, Warren said.

I would like to watch the Joe Parker fight, as a fan. Joe deserves it because he is running on his own like Daniel, and that is the plan for the fight.

With a fight that was ruled a majority draw on Saturday, Miguel Barrios fought off a battling Manny Pacquiao to retain his WBC world welterweight title.

Barrio, 30, held onto his belt despite being dominated by Filipino icon Pacquiao, 46, for several rounds before making his first appearance in the ring after a four-year break.

One judge gave Barrios the fight 115-113, and the other two cards, 114-114, gave him the victory.

The MGM Grand Garden Arena crowd, who had roared on Pacquiao as he attempted to make a spectacular return to boxing, drew a subdued response from the outcome.

As he used all of his guile and experience to deceive Barrios, it seemed like Pacquiao was about to start a new chapter in his 30-year professional career.

However, Barrios rallied fiercely over the final three rounds, being declared the winner of each of those three cards, to do just enough to keep his title.

Pacquiao later said, “I thought I won the fight. It was a close fight, I mean. My adversary was very tough. But the fight was fantastic.

I was trying to finish the fight, but my opponent was so tough. It was difficult because he used defense and combined punches. ”

In the meantime, Barrio argued that the draw was sufficient for him.

Barrios remarked, “I thought I pulled it out.” But Manny is still in my top hat. He had a lot of experience and accomplishments in this sport, so it was a pleasure to share the ring with him. Nothing but love and respect was left in the ring, leaving us with nothing. ”

Barros acknowledged how incredible Pacquiao’s extraordinary reserves of energy and endurance were.

His strength, strength, and endurance are beyond reproach. His rhythm, timing, and everything else. He fought a lot to figure out, but he was still a very awkward fighter. ”

With two goals, Lionel Messi rediscovered his scoring prowess as Inter Miami came out of a draw to defeat New York 5-1 on Saturday.

Miami fell to FC Cincinnati 3-0 on Wednesday, ending Messi’s hot season with a 3-0 blowout.

However, the Argentinian superstar’s best form came back as Miami dominated in Harrison, New Jersey, to end the match decisively.

After Alexander Hack bundled home a 14th-minute opener to give the hosts a commanding lead, the Red Bulls had threatened to bring about another setback.

However, Messi quickly orchestrated Inter Miami’s recovery from that setback by sending off Jordi Alba’s sublime pass in the 24th minute.

The Spaniard crossed for Telasco Segovia to score the second goal on 27 minutes before Messi and Alba combined for the second goal.

Then, Segovia snuck in his second of the night deep into stoppage time to give Miami a clear lead.

As Miami blew up in the second half, Messi took over.

The Argentine World Cup winner was headed onto the goal in the 60th minute thanks to a majestic through ball from Sergio Busquets, a former Barcelona teammate.

Before tucking away the goalkeeper Carlos Coronel’s goal, Messi took his time and coolly feinted to the wrong foot for a 4-1 lead.

Messi’s second goal came from another Barcelona old boys pairing. When Luis Suarez crossed from the left, Messi sprinted past Coronel with a thumping finish as he controlled on the edge of the six-yard box.
