US Open: Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez came from behind in the first set to defeat Lyudmyla Kichenok and Ellen Perez, 7-6 (4), 6-3 in the women's doubles opening round.

The 45-year-old Venus earned her first win in three New York tries after bowing out in the revamped mixed doubles tournament last week and losing to Karolina Muchova on Monday.

This was Venus' first doubles victory in New York since 2014, when she and Serena made it to the quarterfinals. The seven-time Grand Slam singles champion won the doubles tournament here in 1999, alongside her sister Serena, and the pair won it a second time in 2009.
