‘I Haven’t Had Any Prize Money in a While’ – Venus Williams Has a Cheeky Answer to Fan’s Question

42-year-old Venus Williams‘ best days on the tennis court may be well and truly behind her. However, considering the fact that she is yet to call time on her career, it’s safe to say that her passion for playing tennis is still intact. Right now, Venus is recovering from a hamstring injury she sustained in Auckland ahead of the 2023 Australian Open. As a result, she has plenty of time on her hands to focus on her business ventures and also take to social media to interact with her fans and followers. Recently, the 7-time Grand Slam winner answered questions from her fans on Instagram. When one of them quizzed Venus regarding prize money, she had a rib-tickling answer at the end of it.

The official Instagram page of Venus’ skincare and activewear brand EleVen recently shared a story, which featured Venus answering some of her fans’ most pertinent questions. One of the questions went, “When you receive prize money, how long does it take to deposit into your account?”

Venus answered, “Honestly, I don’t know. I haven’t had any prize money in a while so…”. She followed her answer up with a hilarious expression. She used her hand to cover her mouth and rolled her eyes, providing comic relief in the process.

However, despite the humor in Venus’ answer, it proved that she is aware of her long-running dry spell. Venus’ last WTA Tour title came in the Taiwan Open in 2016.

In terms of singles Grand Slam titles, Venus won her last major back in 2008. It marked her fifth Wimbledon title following her win against Serena Williams. So, all in all, Venus’ answer, despite its great sense of humor, was quite honest.
