Venus Williams is not looking too well so far for the year after losing again today in the exhibition in Hong Kong. After losing to Vera Zvonareva yesterday in straight sets, Williams again lost to Na Li in straight sets today.
The American is using this exhibition event to warm up for the Australian Open. Williams had not played since getting injured at last year US Open during her loss to the eventual champ Kim Clijsters in the semifinal.
“It was great today to be able to face break points and still win those games and come back from a break and all those things that I haven’t done in a while,” Williams said. “These games have been very valuable for me because I just haven’t played a lot of tennis.”
