Venus Williams surprised her fans with news of her upcoming return to the professional tennis circuit. Last July, Williams sustained an injury during a match against Elina Svitolina at Wimbledon, forcing her to halt her season prematurely. However, the former world number one remains undeterred, showcasing resilience and determination as she reveals her plans for the upcoming season.
Despite setbacks, the 43-year-old tennis icon continues to impress with her performance on the court, leaving fans in awe of her enduring skill. While news of Venus Williams' injury saddened her supporters, her latest update brings a glimmer of hope as she dismisses any notion of retirement.
In a recent clip shared by a reliable tennis source, Venus Williams candidly discusses her future tennis endeavors, stating, "One of my big goals is to participate in the United States... to compete in the Miami Open and Indian Wells. I haven't competed in these tournaments since 2019 due to injuries, so it's been a long time. These next ones will be in 2024. It's been many years since I've played at home, so that's certainly one of my main goals on the horizon. My little sister Serena told me I'm not allowed to retire, and of course, I will never give up, but it's her mandate that I continue. So, I will be back on the court."
Accompanying the clip, the source tweeted, "Venus is planning to make a return to Indian Wells and The Miami Open! It's been 5 years since she last competed in these tournaments. Seeing Venus grace those courts again will be refreshing." Venus Williams' message undoubtedly uplifts the spirits of her fans, instilling hope for her triumphant return.
Known for her indomitable spirit, Venus Williams had to take a break following her injury at Wimbledon last year. She remarked, "I did my best to recover for the US Open, but I didn't reach my peak form. Now, I'm focusing on resting until I'm ready to return. My target is March, when tournaments resume in the United States, so my goal is to be back in action by then."
