After her injury woes this season, Venus Williams is finally back on her home soil during the ongoing Cincinnati Open. The American tennis icon has started the hard court event with a bang, outclassing the 16th-seeded Russian, Veronika Kudermetova in straight sets (6-4, 7-5). However, in addition to her comeback win, it was the WTA legend’s post-match celebratory moment that aroused the excitement of many fans.

Following her first-round victory at the WTA Masters 1000 event, the 43-year-old player pulled off her iconic twirl on the court. Taking note of the same, a flurry of fans have now descended upon social media in order to drop their reactions to the 7 singles Grand Slam champion’s elegant pirouette maneuvers.

The tennis community reacts to Venus Williams’ iconic celebratory move

During their illustrious journeys in the women’s circuit, the Williams sisters have often dazzled the audience with their trademark twirl on the court. Now that Serena has put down her racket in the previous season, it is the elder sister who is carrying on the iconic celebratory move in the sporting realm.

Recently, the 43-year-old gracefully executed the pirouette even after her recent victory against a top 20-ranked player. Venus’ celebratory maneuvers were fairly justifiable given her fitness issues this season. Notably, many fans are now in a frenzy on Twitter as they expressed their delight about the same. It came after the official page of Western & Southern Open shared a video clip of Williams’ iconic twirl.
