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.

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.
