Pole Magdalena Frech: World number 24 Pole Magdalena Frech said Venus Williams is like a god after topping the former world No. 1 in the second round of the Washington Open.

With her first-round win over fellow American Peyton Stearns on Tuesday, Williams became the oldest player to win a WTA Tour match since 2004. But it was a different story against Frech, who defeated the former world No.1 in straight sets 6-2, 6-2. This loss came a day after Williams and Hailey Baptiste lost in the second round of the event doubles, where Taylor Townsend and Zhang Shuai edged them in a match-deciding tiebreak -- closing the book on Williams' first competitive action in more than a year.

While No. 25 Stearns gave Williams free points off of unforced errors, she made 41 total in Williams' 6-3, 6-4 win, She made 10 unforced errors in the match, to nine winners; Williams made 32 miscues and double faulted five times, as per WTA
