Age is but a number for Venus Williams. 💪
Venus Williams (45!) and Leylah Fernandez (22) are serving up dream team vibes at the US Open. ✨
The wild-card duo is now 3-0 without dropping a set after defeating No. 12 seeds Zhang Shuai and Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-3, 6-4 in front of a packed Armstrong crowd on Monday. 👏
👯♀️ “We’re on the same wavelength, and hopefully we can keep it going,” Venus said after the win. Leylah echoed the energy: “I have full confidence in Venus, and I hope she has full confidence in me…We’re just going out there, playing our game: Be offensive, aggressive and ready for the ball.”

We just need her in the box. So, my message is, ‘Serena, you need to show up.’”
The vibes? Unmatched. The tennis? Flawless. The dream? Ver...
