Coming back to Venus, she was happy to be in the French capital. She posted pictures along with the caption that stated, “Being in France reminds me of my French Open memories. Picking a few to share from this year.” Williams has never won the French Open, but she did reach the final in 2002.

Reflecting on 2021, Williams had a below-par season this year. She lost in the second round at the Australian Open. At Roland Garros, she lost in the opening round and lost in the second round at the Wimbledon Championships.

Sadly, she could not compete at the US Open this year due to a leg injury. We wish her all the best in getting back to full fitness. It will be interesting to see where the 7-time Grand Slam champion begins her 2022 season.
