Venus Williams, 45, eyes the French Open after a 10th straight loss
- On Tuesday, Venus Williams lost her ninth consecutive first-round match at the Madrid Open, falling to Spanish wild card Kaitlin Quevedo in straight sets.
- Williams, giving away 25 years to Quevedo, briefly led the second set 3-0 before losing 6-2, 6-4 as wind and rain disrupted play at the Caja Magica.
- "I felt like in the last game I started to move better on the clay," Williams said, acknowledging difficult conditions but expressing enjoyment of the surface.
- Following her singles exit, the American accepted an invitation from Britain's Katie Boulter to compete in the doubles tournament, extending her stay in Madrid.
- Williams requires a wild card to return to Roland Garros and will miss the Italian Open next month, though she hopes to compete at the French Open.
