Recently, the WTA released a revised schedule for the remainder of the 2020 season. In the schedule, the Citi Open was canceled but the WTA added two new events to the calendar. One of those events is the Top Seed Open in Kentucky and it has just been confirmed that Venus Williams will be playing in it.

Venus Williams To Play Top Seed Open

This is the first time that the Top Seed Open is being played. It is amazing to see that so many top players have already confirmed their participation despite that. American stars Sloane Stephens and Serena Williams are among those participating too.

Clearly, there a lot of players who have signed up for the Top Seed Open. Many, if not all, have decided to play the event because they want to warm-up for the US Open.

Sadly, others are not sure of the US Open because of the many restrictions that’ll be imposed on them during the event. On the other hand, Serena and Venus Williams have already confirmed their participation, which makes for some great news.

Perhaps, she will be able to win her 8th Grand Slam title at this year’s US Open. Although, she will have to fight Serena for it, who is on the hunt for her 24th Major.
