The US Open is on the brink of start and players prepare themselves for one last slam of the year. One of the key names to take part in the tournament will be none other than the iconic Venus Williams. The 43-year-old American legend, who has been a trailblazer in the sport’s history, is all set to leave her mark yet again as she wishes to clinch her third US Open title. However, her latest Instagram story suggested that she has joined forces with world no. 1 Carlos Alcaraz as she looks to strengthen her position going into the tournament.

With his head held high, he would be willing to defend his title going into the tournament. However, this possible unforeseen collab with Queen V could be a pleasant change in pace.
