Venus Williams is losing way too many matches, but she still doesn't want to finish her career. 40-year old player won only two matches in 2021 out of eight. She failed to record a single win on clay, despite her participation on three tournaments.

On the most recent tournament, at Strasbourg, Williams lost to Cirstea in the first round (1:6, 6:2, 1:6).
