The Williams sisters rarely do anything regular in their excellent careers.
So maybe we are not surprised that seven-time major champion and sister of iconic Serena Venus Williams once again made a professional stadium at the age of 45 this week.
For months, the question is whether Venus Williams will be on the WTA tour again.
Earlier this season, she was considered an inactive player and had no games for a whole year.
Then, as Williams was trained in the tennis world on Wimbledon, he was everywhere, Williams announced she was ready for the game.
This week, she will make her debut in 16 months after accepting the wildcard returned from the Washington Open.
It begs for two obvious questions. Why? Why now?
“Most of the time I don’t [take up the offer to play as a wild card],” Williams laughed at her pre-tournament press conference.
“But I’ve been playing all the time this time. Of course, I love the game and the hard court, which is my favorite surface and I feel very comfortable. So, all of these different factors.”
Williams appeared as a teenager in the 1990s, living up to her professional debut when she was only 14 years old.
After winning her first game in her first WTA Championship, the Rangi youngster was ranked second in the world by Arantxa Sanchez Vicario Close, California.
Within six years, she canceled the Virgin Grand Slam title.
Wimbledon’s first five wins won in 2000, with the rest taking the wins over the next eight years, while the U.S. Open won in 2000 and 2001.
Williams used his height to generate strength, and he changed the face of the WTA Tour with an aggressive, first-time defeated tennis and became the blueprint for success – including her sister, who went on to win 23 major titles.
She plans to beat the same thunderous style of American Peyton Stearns of Washington, ranking first in the former world at her peak, and she plans to beat American Peyton Stearns.
Williams smiled and said, “I’m sure I’ll play well. I’m still the same player. I’m a big hitter. I’ve played big. It’s my brand.”
“So it’s about hitting the big thing and actually inserting it. It’s going to be my effort: putting it on the court. That’s my main goal.”
