Venus Williams, 45, To End 16-Month Layoff In Washington DC Open
Venus Williams will make her return from a 16-month layoff at this week's DC Open, the seven-time Grand Slam singles champion saying Sunday she is not sure of anything beyond that. The 45-year-old American overcame a serious health scare last year and after enjoying a visit to Wimbledon decided to accept a wildcard into the US capital tournament, the first hardcourt tuneup for the US Open. "I think I know what I want to do, but I don't always want to talk about it," Williams said. "I'm just here for now. And who knows? Maybe there is more. I hold my cards close, but at the moment, I'm focused just on this." Williams will open against 23-year-old American Peyton Stearns, ranked 34th in the world. Stearns won her only WTA title last year on clay at Rabat. The older sister of 23-time Grand Slam singles champion Serena Williams has not played since a first-round loss at Miami last year. "My personal goal is to have fun I think right now and enjoy the moment, not put too much pressure on myself," Venus Williams said. "I don't know if I define success at this moment in any sort of way other than believing in myself and sticking to my process. That's not easy to do, especially after a layoff. So those are my goals." Venus Williams, the 2000 Sydney Olympic singles champion, has won five Wimbledon singles titles and two US Open crowns. The most recent of her 49 WTA titles came in 2019 at the Taiwan Open. That was the last year she played a full tour schedule. "I definitely feel I'll play well," Williams said. "I'm still the same player. I'm a big hitter. I hit big. This is my brand. "So it's about hitting big and actually putting it in. So this will be my effort. Put it in the court. That's my main goal." A year ago, tennis was far from the most important thing on her mind. "Yeah, my health journey was very scary. You know, this time a year ago I was preparing to go to surgery," she said. "There was no way for me to play tennis or play the US Open... I was just trying to get healthy. "In this last year, I have been through a lot physically, so to come back and be able to play and hopefully enjoy myself is a great opportunity." 'Fun of the challenge' Williams was feeling well enough to accept a wildcard and a visit to Wimbledon added some inspiration. "I had been hitting the ball and of course I love the game and the hard courts. It's my favorite surface, what I feel comfortable on. so all those different factors," Williams said of her choice to play in Washington. "When I went to Wimbledon this year, I was there for a day and it was so beautiful and exciting. I remembered all the times that I had, and of course the adrenaline, all those things. "I think just the pure fun of playing the game, the fun of the challenge, overcoming. Those things are very exciting." The seven Slam singles titles by Williams match the rest of the Washington field, which includes four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka of Japan.

British Open: No Claret Jug, but redemption for McIlroy at Portrush
It was not quite the glorious homecoming Rory McIlroy had dared to dream of on his return to Royal Portrush, but it felt like redemption for Northern Ireland's favourite sporting son after the heartbreak of six years ago. Five-time major champion McIlroy produced a few magical moments over four days for the thousands who descended on the Antrim coast hoping to roar him to British Open glory. In the end, the Northern Irishman fell short, however, finishing tied seventh, seven strokes behind champion Scottie Scheffler. After the gloom of missing the cut in 2019 when the Open returned to the land of his birth for the first time since 1951, though, it felt like a celebration for the 36-year-old who arrived at the course wearing his Masters green jacket. 'I tried as best as I could to keep my emotions in check, especially walking up the last there and that reception,' said McIlroy, who briefly threatened to make a charge on Sunday before a double-bogey on the 10th ended his hopes. ALSO READ: Can't wait to get home and celebrate - Scheffler after winning maiden British Open title 'It's been an awesome week,' he said. 'I've gotten everything I wanted out of this week, apart from a Claret Jug, and that's because one person was just a little bit better than the rest of us.' McIlroy remains the world number two and is hungry for more majors after completing his career Grand Slam by winning this year's Masters to end an 11-year major drought. COURSE RECORD It will be a few years before golf's oldest major returns to Royal Portrush, though, where McIlroy shot a course record 61 as a teenager. 'I feel so thankful and just so lucky that I get to do this, I get to do this in front of this crowd,' he said. 'Hopefully, I'll have one or two Opens left here, if the R&A decide to keep coming back, probably one while I'm still competitive and another one while I'm more grey than I already am. 'I think Portrush has quickly turned into one of the best two or three venues that The Open goes to,' McIlroy added. 'Talk to every player this week, they won't say one bad thing about the golf course.' McIlroy, firing again after a post-Augusta slump, concedes that world number one Scheffler has moved to a different level. 'He is the bar that we're all trying to get to,' he said. 'In a historical context, you could argue that there's only maybe two or three players in the history of the game that have been on a run like the one that Scottie's been on here for the last 24 to 36 months. Incredibly impressive.' McIlroy said he would scale back slightly after the Open to focus on this year's Ryder Cup in New York. 'I don't want to play too much leading up to that because I want to be fresh,' he said. 'I'll reflect on what's already been a good year and start to get myself ready for that run-up.'

Scottie Scheffler wins British Open for the third leg of the career Grand Slam
Last Updated: Portrush (Northern Ireland), Jul 21 (AP) Scottie Scheffler had all the time in the world to celebrate his latest major title. This British Open was never in doubt as golf's No. 1 player delivered another dominant performance to win his second major this year and grab the third leg of the career Grand Slam. Scheffler began with a shot into 10 inches for birdie. One hour into the final round on Sunday, his lead already was seven shots and no one got closer than four the rest of the way at Royal Portrush. He closed with a 3-under 68 for a four-shot victory, sending him to the U.S. Open next year with a chance to make it a clean sweep of golf's biggest titles. Scheffler won the Masters by three shots in 2022 and by four shots last year. He won the PGA Championship by five shots in May. Scheffler finished at 17-under 267 for his fourth victory of the year. He's the first player in the last century to win his first four majors by at least three shots. He has won 20 times worldwide since February 2022, and this was the 11th straight time he turned a 54-hole lead into a victory. Harris English was second after a 66. Chris Gotterup had a 67 to finish third at 12 under. (AP) AH AH view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 09:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
