Venus Williams, aged 43 and ranked No 697, pulls off surprising win at Birmingham Classic

China Daily  

Venus Williams in action against Camila Giorgi during the women's singles qualifying match on day one of the Rothesay Classic Birmingham at Edgbaston Priory Club June 19, 2023. 697, Venus Williams isn't done quite yet — especially on her favored surface of grass. Williams upset 48th-ranked Camile Giorgi 7-6, 4-6, 7-6 after more than three hours at the Birmingham Classic on Monday for her first victory over a player in the top 50 in nearly four years. Williams, a seven-time Grand Slam champion and five-time winner of the Wimbledon singles, was out for six months because of a hamstring injury sustained in Auckland in the first week of the year.
