The Late Show: Venus Williams' Bittersweet Night at the US Open The US Open has long been a showcase for tennis's most elite, but Monday morning's matchup between Venus Williams and Sofia Kenin brought a different kind of spotlight to Arthur Ashe Stadium.
A record breaking 12:13 a. m. kick off was just one aspect that made this match stand out.
Williams' loss marked her sixth consecutive defeat at the US Open since her first round win in 2019, and her 14th straight singles loss dating back to July 2025.
