Venus Williams falls boldly our open hints while she prepares for her long -awaited tennis comeback

Venus Williams just shocked the tennis world! After her interruption of 16 months, the WTA legend was set to compete again at the Washington Open. She struggles with injuries and health problems that have stopped her tennis trip for many occasions. Her younger sister, Serena Williams, once told her, she is “Not allowed to stop tennis.” Now, after recording commentator rolls for the French Open and witness of the 2025 Wimbledon, she is back to the competition. But how long?

During a press conference prior to the tournament that starts tomorrow, July 21, against Peyton Stearns, the sevenfold Grand SLAM champion talked about her mindset on the way to the tournament. She noticed that she looked forward to ‘enjoying’ her time. However, this led to a new intriguing question.

When asked if she also had plans to play in other tournaments, Venus was fair. “I’m just here for now, and who knows? Maybe there is more. Like I said, I keep my cards shut, but at the moment I am focused on this. And I have not played in a year, there is no doubt that I can play tennis. But it is clear that it comes back to play matches, it takes time to get into the sling of things. I still play the same player.” And that’s true.

Before she left the field after her knee injury at the 2023 Wimbledon who hindered her 2024 season and eventually led to her absence, Venus Williams was on fire. She has re -defined tennisdominance by pure strength and athletics. Her sky -high presence and sizzling serving, consistently under the fastest of the Tour, were characteristics of her game. They strategically overwhelmed opponents with aggressive baseline play and net finishes, in which 7 Grand Slam Singles titles were secured (5 Wimbledon, 2 US Open), in the world no. 1 reached and collects 49 WTA -Singles titles.

As she noted on Sunday: ‘I am a big batter. I hit big. This is my brand. So it’s about getting big and actually putting it in. So this will be my effort: place it in court. That is my main goal. “ Her impressive serve, often one of the fastest on tour, went up to 129 km / h, provided a formidable weapon, earned her countless free points and setting up aggressive baseline game.

And although she does not confirm her next tournament, she shared an exciting detail about returning for an exhibition last month, the Charlotte Invitational with Madison Keys! If she hadn’t accepted the Yoker sign for the DC Open, this might have been her big comeback!
