Venus Williams's winning streak came to an end after her return to the sport after a long break. At the DC Open, the 45-year-old athlete suffered a loss in the women's singles match against Magdalena Frech by 2-6, 2-6.

After the match ended, the spectators at the main stadium gave her a standing ovation, and Venus, too, responded with a smile.

She has not featured in any of the other tournaments in more than a year, and even if her run at the DC Open has come to an end, making her presence with the racket was a big one for Williams.
