TORONTO (AP) — Kamilla Rakhimova beat Venus Williams 6-4, 6-1 in a rain-delayed match Sunday to kick off the National Bank Open women’s main draw.
Granted a singles wild-card entry at the WTA 1000 event, the 46-year-old Williams has lost 12 straight matches dating to July 2025.
“We play outside … you can’t control the weather,” Williams said.
“But the fans were amazing.
They were with me right in every point — that was fantastic.
I was just fighting to put the ball on the court."
The 24-year-old Rakhimova is from Uzbekistan.
She's ranked 82nd in the world.
“Playing Venus is not an everyday experience,” Rakhimova said.
“I’m very glad to actually get a chance to play against her.
I was looking forward to that match.
I knew it was going to be a center-court match.
I was trying to enjoy my time on it, no matter what the result."
