Venus Williams lost to Francesca Jones of Britain at the Miami Open, a match that was marked by the high level of adoration shown for both players. Jones, who was not even alive when Williams won her first two Grand Slam titles, expressed her admiration for Williams and her sister Serena Williams. The match ended with a full ovation as Williams walked off the grandstand court with a wave. The question will now be answered by how many more times will we see Williams play, with one more match in the tournament being played with Leylah Fernandez. Carlos Alcaraz, the world's top-ranked men’s player, expressed admiration for Venus' continued playing.
