Venus Williams just came back from a 16-month break from professional tennis. But she didn’t return because she missed playing — rather, she missed her health insurance. “I had to come back for the insurance,” Williams, 45, said this week after beating Peyton Stearns — 22 years her junior — at the Mubadala Citi DC Open in Washington, D.C.

Williams' victory on Tuesday over Peyton Stearns—22 years her junior—made her the oldest woman to win a WTA singles match since 2004.
