🎾 Venus Williams, 45, Wins Singles Match at DC Open |
45-year-old Venus Williams notched her first singles victory in nearly two years with a composed 6–3, 6–4 win over Peyton Stearns at the Mubadala Citi DC Open on Tuesday.
Her triumph makes her the oldest woman to win a WTA tour–level match since Martina Navratilova’s run at Wimbledon in 2004, when Navratilova was 47.
Off a 16-month break and surgery, Williams relied on clinical serving—clocking 110+ mph—and sharp ground strokes to tame 23‑year‑old Stearns.
With this milestone under her belt, Williams quietly reminded the tennis world she still belongs—next up is a showdown with Magdalena Frech for a spot in the DC Open’s round of 16. |
🏈 Terry McLaurin, Trey Hendrickson Skip Day 1 of Camp |
Washington’s star wideout Terry McLaurin reportedly sat out Day 1 of training camp on Tuesday, officially holding out amid stalled contract negotiations—skipping the mandatory conditioning test and facing a $50K-a-day fine.
McLaurin's entering the final year of a $68 million extension and says stalled talks have left him “frustrated."
Meanwhile, Bengals’ All‑Pro DE Trey Hendrickson also missed Day 1, posting from Florida as his camp no‑show continues amid a standoff over guaranteed money—no deal yet on an extension. |
🏈 Tyrann Mathieu, Jimmy Graham Announce Retirement |
Tyrann Mathieu, the electrifying "Honey Badger," announced he's hanging up his cleats after a stellar 12-year career marked by three All‑Pro nods, a Pro Bowl trio, and a Super Bowl win with Kansas City.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, the Louisiana native shared how football gave him "purpose, discipline, and memories" and thanked coaches, teammates, and fans for carrying him through the highs and lows.
Alongside him, longtime tight end Jimmy Graham confirmed he'll be retiring as well—finishing a 13‑year run with 719 catches, 8,545 yards, and 89 TDs, and declaring “What a journey” as he returns to close his career where it began, in New Orleans.
It’s a bittersweet pivot for the Saints, saying farewell to two pillars of their recent identity as the franchise charts a new course under Kellen Moore. |
