Venus Williams’ losing streak grew to 11 matches after she fell to qualifier Irina-Camelia Begu in the first round at Bad Homburg. Williams, who was handed a wildcard, lost 6-2, 4-6, 7-6(6) in two hours and 57 minutes.
Venus is 0-8 in singles this season. Despite saving two match points against Begu, she served 11 double faults, which proved costly in the end.
Fans took to social media to express concern for the seven-time Grand Slam champion. They questioned whether repeated losses would impact her legacy before she hangs up the racket. Others questioned how she would fare alongside her sister Serena when they team up at Wimbledon.
