Venus Williams suffers 10th straight loss at Madrid Open

Venus Williams Loses 10th Straight Match at Madrid Open

Venus Williams’s difficult comeback continued as she slumped to her 10th consecutive singles defeat, losing 6-2, 6-4 to Kaitlin Quevedo in the opening round of the Madrid Open.

The 45-year-old became the first former World No.1 to endure a 10-match losing streak since rankings began in 1975. Williams, a seven-time Grand Slam champion, last won a match in July 2025. Meanwhile, World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka begins her clay season aiming to defend her Madrid title.

Despite her struggles, Williams continues to compete, with a wildcard entry lined up for Indian Wells. Quevedo, ranked 140, impressed with a comeback win in her first WTA 1000 appearance.
