American legend Venus Williams didn’t have a great start to the 2021 tennis season. She lost to Sara Errani in straight sets in the second round of the Australian Open 2021. Suprisingly, she could only win a single game in that entire match; the final scoreline was 6-1, 6-0.

The former World No.1 player is 40 right now and it is surely becoming more and more difficult for her to train physically. In a recent podcast, she revealed how long she trains for.

“Now-a-day, I get myself 4-5 good hours of training,” began Venus Williams. “So, I’m basically going by 9 to 5 with a little bit of different way.”

It is surely quite remarkable that the elder Williams manages to train herself for nearly five hours a day. It also makes it evident that she has a lot of tennis left in her and gives an indication that she is not going to retire anytime soon.

Venus Williams hates playing indoors

The seven-time Grand Slam champion highlighted that she prefers to play outdoors. She revealed that even when she is in her office, she steps out first and then trains herself. She simply doesn’t like to practice inside her home or office.

“I hate playing indoors. So, even at the office, I gotta go walk outside every couple of hours or so. I gotta go step out,” added the former World No.1.

It is definitely because of her consistent training that Venus is going strong at an age most players become coaches or take retirement. Although she is a successful entrepreneur at the moment, she is not ready to leave tennis behind even now.
