Springfield Holyoke, MA, October 27, 2026 —
Venus Williams lost her singles match at the Guangzhou Open in China to 18-year-old Lilli Tagger, leaving Williams with a 0-13 record for the year, according to the information provided.
The result marks another defeat in Williams’ singles season. The available information identifies Tagger as the opponent and gives her age, but does not provide the match score, the date of the match or the tournament round. It also does not include details about how the match unfolded.
Williams’ record was reported as 0-13 for the year following the loss. The information does not specify the period covered by that record or provide further details about the matches included. No additional results or explanation for the record were provided.
The Guangzhou Open is identified as the setting for the match, and the summary places the tournament in China. It does not state whether Williams or Tagger played any other matches at the event, or what either player’s next competition will be.
Further details about the match, including its score and round, were not provided. The available information therefore establishes the outcome and its effect on Williams’ reported singles record, but does not offer additional match or tournament context.
