Disease? I was wondering if she had had a baby recently, those nipples were poking but that midsection wasn’t looking to good during the match. Yeah it’s time for her to hang it up
Major props to the young lady. Venus is amazing to be still playing professionally at all.
fuck the Williams sisters I don't support wenching
Past that torch: 
Yup. Her time has passed and the girls who grew up idolizing her and Serena are catching up to the Masters. In come the next set of Torchbearers.
That's good shit right there. Take the reins Coco!
Grass is Venus best surface by far even tho she's not what she once was.
Hopefully tha kid can go deep, i'll be checkin for her from here on out.
Need more black tennis players to piss off honkies for another 20 years like Venus & Serena did for the last 20.

Such an epic match, and the fact that she is literally ushering in a youth that idolizes her and is as good as Venus was when she was 15 is beautiful.
Forever team Venus and Serena. Props to the young sis tho. I’m root for EVERYBODY Black. Period!
The future is here.
I wish Venus had embraced her at the end of the match rather than crying or in addition to showing that emotion.
Crying is so natural especially when you walk away realizing it’s likely your last time at a place that you once dominated and will forever be legendary at; I can’t blame her for being in her own space and emotions.
The new icon
Young girl was really playing with confidence too, you could tell she wasn’t nervous and cane to win, not just compete
Props to all young athletes doing big things on big stages.
I know, and you could feel it. It would have been so impactful for her to embrace the next generation of Black tennis champions IN ADDITION to realizing that her time was up but I realize how easy it is for an onlooker like myself to speak in hindsight like that.
I took it more that Venus stepped away from the spotlight to allow Coco the moment to herself to shine. Perhaps mindful of that controversial debacle after Naomi Osaka finally beat Serena.
Maybe she's playing because she loves the game - much like how singers sing and actors act and dancers dance. The tour is big enough for everybody to play. Why should she stop just because she has "enough" money? Besides, Venus is currently the #7 ranked American woman on the WTA tour and in the Top 50 worldwide. This loss puts her at 14 wins and 7 losses for 2019, which is still VERY respectable and competitive.

Alcon tapped Williams this year to help launch a new lubricant to combat dry eye. Her awareness level of 81% in the U.S. ranks behind only her sister’s among female athletes in the U.S. Williams, 38, is a popular draw on the speaking circuit, commanding as much as $100,000 for an appearance. She plans to play in the 2020 Olympics.
Venus has Sjögren's syndrome. It’s a rare autoimmune disorder that causes fatigue and joint pain. Using a rough analogy, think of it is sickle cell anemia just without the deadly consequences
