Today, legendary American tennis player Venus Williams will make her Grand Slam singles return at the US Open. The 7-time Grand Slam champion will start her campaign against the Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck.

It is worth noting that she received a wild card at this year’s US Open. Although all the spotlight is currently on her younger sister Serena, she is also on the verge of creating history.

Venus Williams will surpass Roger Federer and Serena Williams with a unique record

As Venus is getting ready to play her opening round match at the US Open, this will be her 91st Grand Slam main draw appearance. Notably, this will be the most appearances made by any player in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament. Moreover, she has already surpassed the likes of Roger Federer and her sister Serena Williams.

Yesterday, Serena made her 81st Grand Slam appearance, and last year, Federer made his 81st Grand Slam appearance at the Wimbledon Championships. Apart from Federer and Serena, Feliciano Lopez, the Spanish tennis player, also played in 81 Grand Slam tournaments.
