  "account": "MASON, Ohio (AP) — Venus Williams' losing streak in singles has now reached 13 matches. The seven-time major champion was defeated 6-2, 6-2 by qualifier Emiliana Arango in the first round of the Cincinnati Open on Friday. Williams, 46, had not won a singles match since July 2025. Arango, 25, won the match in 1 hour, 5 minutes on the grandstand court at Lindner Tennis Center. Williams struggled to convert on break points and had a low first-serve success rate. Arango will face top seed and defending champion Iga Swiatek in the next round, while Williams will play doubles with her sister Serena after both received wild-card entries.",
