Venus Williams quits the US Open after being defeated in the first round, which makes her future in sports quite uncertain despite the wonderful comeback from an injury.

Tennis giant Venus Williams lost in the first round of the US Open in a heartbreaking match and ended up in doubt over her future in sports. The 45-year-old American was defeated with a score of 6-3, 2-6, 6-1 by Czech Karolina Muchova, who was ranked number 11 and played in the Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Williams, a 22-time Grand Slam title winner in singles, returned to professional sports in July after a 16-month absence due to injury. Although she was given a wild card entry, she says she is not sure whether she will compete yet again this year or go to the Australian Open.

Organizers and fans who have cheered her back taught Williams to recognize her efforts in her journey, and she said, "Thank you, I was unlucky as far as my health issues and injuries, but I am blessed to hit the ball once more."

Although she lost, Williams indicated that her physical state was much better than before she played, and she felt very happy about playing without pain. Where she goes now is unknown, but her persistence is incredibly encouraging to the sports fraternity all over the world.
