WASHINGTON (AP) — Competing at a tournament for the first time in more than a year, and in doubles for the first time in nearly three, Venus Williams hit a big serve on her initial delivery at the DC Open on Monday and, curiously, it was wiped out by a foot-fault call.

Venus Williams displayed her trademark power on some strokes and missed others while teaming with Hailey Baptiste for a 6-3, 6-1 victory.

Venus Williams celebrates victory in the women's doubles at the Washington Open after a 16-month absence, while Britain's Dan Evans and Cameron Norris advance to the second round.
