After having dominated various courts for almost decades, Venus Williams will be looking to make an emphatic comeback when she steps at the Flushing Meadows. However, her recent form has not been that good given her stature as a professional player. With early eliminations at Wimbledon and the Cincinnati Masters, she would be hoping to turn things around this time. 

Recently, the US Open came ahead with a tweet that confirmed that the Queen has finally entered the stands and is all set to take on some of the most dominant forces in tennis at the moment. “Venus is here! The 7x Grand Slam singles winner is set to make her 24th #USOpen appearance,” posted US Open to celebrate the arrival of one of the star players.

While another tweet showed Venus Williams sweating on the courts and leaving no stone unturned. She might be looking to overturn the dilemma surrounding her recent performances and shine bright. “Early bird practice for Queen V,” read another tweet announcing the arrival of the 7-time grand slam winner.

Thus, with the US Open commencing in just a matter of a few days, Venus Williams will be looking to get the best out of this tournament and make sure that she makes it all the way to the finals this year. After a series of poor performances, she would be willing to give her all and come out on top.
