Venus Williams lost her singles match at the Guangzhou Open in China to 18-year-old Lilli Tagger, extending Williams’ singles record to 0-13 for the year.
The result puts Williams’ current-year singles record at 13 losses and no wins, according to the information provided. Tagger, 18, was the opponent in the match. No match score, tournament date, or round was specified.
The available details do not say how the match unfolded, how long it lasted, or whether either player faced an injury or other circumstance affecting play. They also do not provide further information about Tagger’s tournament run or Williams’ plans following the match. Those details cannot be confirmed from the summary.
Williams’ 0-13 figure refers specifically to her singles record for the year; the information does not describe her results in doubles or other competitions. The year itself was not identified, and no additional career or tournament context was supplied.
The Guangzhou Open match is therefore notable in the reported account for its outcome and for the effect on Williams’ singles record.

The match score, date, and stage of the tournament remain unspecified.
