Venus Williams Criticizes Extremely Late US Open Start

Venus Williams played Sofia Kenin at the US Open.

Their match started after midnight, which Venus said was much too late.

They had to wait because another match lasted more than four and a half hours.

Venus lost the first set but played much better in the second.

She had several chances to win that set.

However, she could not use those chances, including four set points in the tiebreak.

Sofia Kenin won the match in two sets.

Venus said Kenin played very well and that the late start was not good for either player.
