Venus Williams Congratulates 311

During this pandemic when tennis wasn’t being played, Venus must have busied herself listening to one of her favorite bands. As you can see in the video, this 311 fan congratulated them on completing 30 years. She said,

“Congratulations on so many years of not only success but motivating other people. And the reason I love you guys is because you make my life better… I always say that my 2005 Wimbledon, ‘All mixed up’ was everything I thought about – trust your instincts, let go of your regret, bet on yourself and the naysayers don’t mean a thing. I said that every single time people counted me out and guess what – the title was mine.”

While Venus Williams certainly wants to go to a 311 show, her main focus right now is going to be training. This is because the Tour is returning and the WTA has come up with a grueling schedule. The US Open and the French Open are to be played in the same month which will be very tiring.
