US tennis ace Venus Williams, who was back on the court after a year, was knocked out of the DC Open in the second round on Friday. She couldn't win her second successive match since 2019.

Venus lost 6-2, 6-2 to world No. 24 Magdalena Frech of Poland in the second-round encounter. Seven-time Grand Slam title-winner Venus commented after the match that I had a lot of fun playing here. Of course, the result was against me but, I was able to learn a lot here. The beauty of sports and life is that you never cease learning.

Venus won a minimum of two matches in the Cincinnati Open in August 2019. She then won three on a run before losing to Madison Keys in the quarterfinals.

In other matches, top seed Jessica Pegula lost to 2021 US Open runner-up Leyla Fernandez of Canada 6-3, 1-6, 7-5. At the same time, Britain's Emma Raducanu defeated Japan's Naomi Osaka 6-4, 6-2 in her first match of the tournament. Here, Raducanu was playing against Osaka for the first time in her career. 46th-ranked Raducanu will face Maria Sakkari in the quarterfinals.
