Venus Williams speaks for women 

Recently. Williams spoke on the cause of women’s empowerment. She stated that women should not always follow rules, especially when the rules do not make much sense. However, if the rules have logic behind it, none must abide by them.

Speaking on this subject, Venus stated, “It means that you don’t have to follow the rules. There are a lot of rules that are just dumb. And there are some rules that make sense and are there for the benefit of everyone. Okay, I’m in. So if the rule makes no sense, if the rule doesn’t apply to you, if the rule is holding you back from being your best and being great, then that’s when you know it’s time to make that work for you.”

Coming to tennis, Williams has not featured in any event since the Wimbledon Championships. She lost in the early stages and even featured in the mixed doubles, along with Australian player Nick Kyrgios.
