Former World No.1, Venus Williams didn’t play much tennis in 2021. Late last year, she also announced that she will not take part in the Australian Open, same as her sister, Serena Williams. Both sisters have been dominating the WTA Tour for more than a decade now. So, it was a big blow for both tennis fans and the Australian Open to not be able to see either of them.

However, Venus Williams recently revealed that she’s working to make her comeback on the Tour soon. 

Venus Williams provides an update about her return

Recently, on Instagram, Venus Williams hosted a Q&A session with fans. One fan asked Venus, “How are you?” In reply, Venus said something really interesting that will definitely excite tennis fans around the globe.

Venus replied, “I’m doing great. What about you? Just fine, oh yeah, I’m glad I asked… more than anything I am, guess what? Gearing up to get back on Tour, I can’t wait (with a smile).”

This news will surely bring joy to many tennis fans who have missed seeing her on the tour. The 7-time Grand Slam winner last played in a WTA event in Chicago in August 2021. Since then, she hasn’t played a single competitive match. 

The return of the Williams Sisters?

Although Venus provided an update about her return, she didn’t state the exact date and the tournament of her return.

Meanwhile, her younger sister, Serena Williams, is yet to provide an update about her return. The 23-time Grand Slam champion hasn’t played since injuring her hamstring during the first round of Wimbledon last year. 

Prior to retiring, Serena would certainly like to win her 24th Grand Slam title. As for Venus, that might be too-ambitious a dream, but it will definitely be a treat to see her compete again.
