Venus Williams

Venus Williams insisted she is not a good doubles player. The 14 major championships she and Serena won together tell a different story.

Without her sister by her side, Venus showed on Thursday she's still got it. Venus won a women's doubles match at the US Open for the first time in more than a decade, teaming with Leylah Fernandez to defeat the sixth-seeded pair of Lyudmyla Kichenok and Ellen Perez 7-6 (4), 6-3.
