Venus Williams, aged 45, continues her impressive run at the 2025 US Open by reaching the women's doubles quarter-finals with Leylah Fernandez. The pair, who received a wildcard entry, defeated the 12th seeds Ekaterina Alexandrova and Zhang Shuai 6-3, 6-1 on Louis Armstrong Stadium, securing their place in the last eight for the first time since 2017. Williams, a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion and 14-time doubles champion with her sister Serena, has now knocked out two seeded pairs without dropping a set. Williams called on Serena to join her courtside, jokingly asking her to show up and coach, while Serena posted a playful TikTok reacting to Venus's partnership with Fernandez. Serena, who retired in 2022 and has 23 Grand Slam singles titles, remains a supportive sibling, as Venus shared that Serena’s daughters are cheering her from home. The upcoming quarter-final could see Williams and Fernandez face the top-seeded team of Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend. Venus's deep run marks her best performance at a major since her Wimbledon win in 2016, and she expressed admiration for Serena’s ongoing support and inspiration. The match and Williams’ performance have garnered considerable attention, highlighting her remarkable longevity and the strong sibling bond between Venus and Serena Williams.
