Venus Williams didn’t look like she had much rust to shake off in Monday’s opening-day action at the U.S. Open. Despite being absent from action since Wimbledon due to a knee injury, Williams defeated Roberta Vinci of Italy in short order, 6-4, 6-1. She did make sort of a funny landing at one point where her knee appeared to go a little sideways, but she brushed it off in postgame interviews.
