Magdalena Fręch Overwhelmed After Beating Venus Williams in DC Open

Washington, D.C. (July 24, 2025) – After a stellar first-round win, Venus Williams’ long-awaited return to singles competition came to an abrupt end on Wednesday at the Citi DC Open, as Poland’s Magdalena Fręch cruised to a 6-2, 6-2 win.

Fręch committed just 10 unforced errors and struck nine winners, while Williams tallied 32 errors.
