The 45-year-old American partnered with fellow countrywoman Hailey Baptiste to win their women's doubles round of 16 match in straight sets. Williams and the 23-year-old Baptiste defeated Eugenie Bouchard and Clervie Ngounoue 6–3, 6–1 to advance to the quarter-finals of the tournament. It was Williams' first match on the WTA Tour in 16 months, her last outing having come at the Miami Open in March 2024. 🗣️ 'It's inspiring to be out here"Venus Williams made a winning return to tennis alongside Hailey Baptiste as they claimed a 6-3 6-1 victory against Eugenie Bouchard and Clervie Ngounoue in the Citi Open women's doubles 🎾 — Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) July 22, 2025 'It wasn't easy for us but we brought it together quickly as a team," Williams told Sky Sports after the match. 'I love this game and [I'm] still hitting it big."

Despite the time away, Williams looked comfortable alongside Baptiste, combining well with the younger American throughout the match.

Rated #1 in the class of 2021 by ESPN, Fudd has already shown the world what she is capable of, while also being an asset to the USA youth teams. Fudd is all set to sprinkle her stardust now in the world of podcasting. Steph Curry will be listening to what Azzi Fudd has to say Azzi Fudd announced her new podcast on Friday called 'Fudd Around and Find Out' which will be co-produced by Steph Curry and Erick Peyton. This was the latest addition to a growing list of women podcasters under iHeart Women's Sports, which recently marked its one-year anniversary. The UConn superstar is all set to let the fans sneak a peek into the gruelling journey which she has undertaken over the years. iHeart released a statement announcing the introduction of the podcast, underscoring that it will shed light on Fudd's incredible journey to date. Fudd herself was part of the introduction, revealing the topics she will discuss. However, much to her surprise, Steph Curry gave her a shoutout, which could prove to be a massive catalyst for her podcasting journey. Hyping up the introduction, the Golden State Warriors point guard, Steph Curry, took to Instagram. He posted a story, sharing the introductory post, adding a caption which said, 'New podcast @azzi35 Best believe I'll be listening! Check it out, 8/7'. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While appearing on the introduction, Fudd said, 'This podcast is a space where I can bring my full self—athlete, storyteller, budding entrepreneur and fan of the game—and highlight the voices that deserve to be heard. Whether we're talking hoops, culture, business or life beyond the court, I want every episode to feel real and empowering.'

Curry always supported Fudd, with one of his biggest moves being him wearing Fudd's UConn jersey to a post-game interview on the occasion of the latter turning 20. It was a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, where Steph dropped 40 points, almost single-handedly propelling his team to a staggering win. Curry said in that post-match interview, 'Wanted to shout her out. Basketball is basketball, and continuing to do our part to shine a light and celebrate those women who are doing amazing things on the court." With the latest podcast all set to be launched, the Fudd-Curry friendship will find a new dimension. Curry has always been appreciative of what Fudd has done in her NCAA career and now the entire world will get to know it firsthand. FAQ's: Who is Azzi Fudd? Azzi Jazlyn Fudd is a standout American college basketball guard, plying her trade for the UConn Huskies in the Big East Conference. When is her podcast dropping?

Controversy erupts in Indian athletics as 8 athletes miss World University Games due to alleged admin mistakes: ‘Career sabotage', ‘₹2.5 lakh fee'
At least eight Indian athletes have missed out on the World University Games after alleged administrative blunders such as incorrect name entries. The incident has sparked outrage across the sports community. read more A massive controversy has broken out in Indian sports as at least eight athletes were barred from the ongoing World University Games in Rhine-Ruhr, Germany, due to alleged administrative lapses. Six out of eight athletes were part of the Indian badminton squad that won the mixed team bronze medal at the ongoing Games. The other two athletes are sprinters Devyaniba Zala and Seema. The affected players have taken to social media to highlight the alleged administrative mess and their plight. 'This is not just mismanagement – it's career sabotage,' one of the athletes, who missed out on the World University Games, wrote on Instagram. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Six Indian shuttlers miss out on World University Games medal A badminton team of 12 players was sent to Germany for the event, but six were not allowed to participate as officials did not submit all the names correctly during the managers' meeting on 16 July. As per a report in news agency PTI, the managers' meeting was attended by Association of Indian Universities (AIU) officials BV Rao and Ajit Mohan. The six badminton players who missed out on the World University Games medal are Rohan Kumar, Darshan Pujari, Aditi Bhatt, Abhinash Mohanty, Viraj Kuvale and Alisha Khan. 'We demand answers, accountability, and that our voices be heard. We didn't lose a match — we lost our right to even participate,' Alisha Khan wrote on Instagram. 'This isn't just a mistake. It's career sabotage by AIU and our team officials. We demand justice.' Sprinters Devyaniba, Seema suffer same fate The 400m sprinter Devyaniba Zala has said that her name was missing from the start list at the World University Games despite being part of the official entry list. The 23-year-old athlete from Saurashtra Devyaniba also claimed on Instagram that she had paid Rs 2.5 lakhs to participate in the event and shared proof of her name being part of the official list. 'A fee of 2.50 lakhs to represent my country, and I miss out on getting an entry at the final moment,' Devyaniba captioned her social media post. She also shared the picture of a final confirmation list that included a pen stroke that crossed out another athlete's name to make room for hers. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I have been preparing for this event for over a year and was in good shape to clock a PB and make it to the 400m final and do something special. But when the start list for Day 1 came out last evening, my name in the entry went missing from the 400m women's list,' Devyaniba said in an Instagram post. 'The official of the team tells me that the date and time for submission are over, and we are trying. But when it is a global competition, how can a world committee accept an entry which is scribbled and written with a pen?' Devyaniba asked. 'It might be very casual for the officials, but not to me, being an athlete who has missed the entry this way at the global competition,' Devyaniba added. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In another similar incident, the Times of India has claimed that Seema, who was to take part in the women's 10,000m final, did not find her name in the start list. 'It appears that while reconfirming the participation of the athletes to the organisers, through the electronic data sheet, the athletics official at the venue clicked the wrong box. There were two boxes — participating and not participating — and the official could have ticked the wrong box,' sources told TOI. Speaking to TOI, Seema confirmed that she was not the only Indian sprinter to miss out on the race. 'It's a matter of shame that our athletes' names are not there. Athletes from Pakistan and Sri Lanka are in the start list. Three of us were to compete in the 10,000m — Anjali Devi, Nirmala and me — but our names were missing from the start list,' Seema told TOI. AIU launches investigation after University Games controversy Meanwhile, PTI has reported that the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) has launched an investigation into the matter. 'We have been informed about this and the matter is being investigated,' AIU Secretary Dr Pankaj Mittal told PTI. As per a source, the administrative lapses with the badminton team began from the selection trials held at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), Bhubaneswar STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'During the managers' meeting, officials were given a letter listing all 12 players from India. It was their responsibility to read it carefully, check for missing or injured players, and confirm or adjust the names accordingly. However, they took it lightly,' the source said. 'The names of players who hadn't attended trials were there. They came here only to enjoy. In the meeting, they also made a basic mistake. They were supposed to declare which player would play singles, doubles, and mixed, but didn't process it properly.' Saneeth Dayanand, Sathish Kumar Karunakaran, Devika Sihag, Tasnim Mir, Varshini Viswanath Sri, and Vaishnavi Khadkekar were the six who competed in the mixed team event.
