Venus Williams is back for her 24th Wimbledon. Williams, 43, recently returned to action after about five months away with a hamstring injury she called “a nightmare.”
Women’s tennis is looking into the possibility of getting into business with Saudi Arabia. And while there’s nothing imminent, WTA Chairman and CEO Steve Simon said Friday that he visited that country with some players in February to get more information about whether it would make sense to have anFrances Tiafoe heads into Wimbledon on the heels of his first title at a grass-court tournament and his first appearance in the Top 10 of the ATP rankings.
“I haven’t played a lot of matches in the last few years, and not by choice. I wanted to be here and I couldn’t,” said the elder Williams, who will meet two-time major semifinalistat Centre Court on Monday, Day 1 at the All England Club. “So I just put my head down and put even more work in and got myself in a much better position — and that’s life. And you’ve got to deal with life. And I’ve dealt with my life and, most of the time, I come out on top.
“The most inspiring thing about her is the love that she has for tennis. I don’t think that love has swayed over the course of her career. I think you can see players who are older now you can have a feeling they probably don’t love it as much as they did when they started it. I don’t have that feeling with Venus. I hope I’m the same way,” saidby beating Williams in the first round at Wimbledon as a qualifier in 2019.
Monday’s match will be Williams’ first in Wimbledon’s main stadium since 2017, when she reached the final before losing to Garbiñe Muguruza.“Venus loves to play here,” said Svitolina, who returned to the tour in April after having a baby last year. “It’s just really impressive. She’s a great champion. She achieved so much in her career. I don’t know if I will be playing at age and would be in this great shape, playing with such a passion. So lots of respect to her in so many ways.
