Venus Williams title drought at the French Open continued on Sunday afternoon in stunning fashion. The ninth-seeded Williams was knocked out of the singles tournament by 78th-ranked Wang Qiang in straight sets (6-4, 7-5) during their first round matchup. That doesn’t mean the clay court has been all bad for the elder Williams sister. At 26, Qiang has never advanced past the second round of any major tournament and has never been ranked higher than 44th (January, 2018). Serena Williams will begin her singles march towards another major victory on Tuesday before joining her sister for the doubles portion of the French Open.
