Venus Williams recently made headlines after the Indian Wells Open announced that she had received a wildcard entry to this year's edition of the WTA 1000 event, which is set to commence on March 5.

However, the seven-time Grand Slam champion revealed that the news was false while she was in Denmark, just days before heading to Milan with Andrea Preti. Speaking to the Tennis Weekly Podcast, Williams explained that she had already made commitments that required her to stay overseas during the tournament.

"Actually I'm not... That wasn't true. No, I'm not playing. Actually I found the announcement super amusing because, I don't know, people seem to be happy, so I was like, maybe I'll just go with it, I don't know, I'm actually not going. I'm gonna be like, overseas. I'm not gonna be here so I'm watching it on TV. I'm sorry guys," Venus Williams said.

"I had a player text me today too, like, "can you play doubles?" I'm not playing. I found out about the wild card when you guys did. Just saying. Okay. And I love Indian Wells. I would love to be there. And if I could have accepted it, I would have been like, yes, but I already made commitments," she added.

Venus Williams last competed on the tour at the 2024 Miami Open, having recorded a 6-3, 6-3 loss to Diana Shnaider in the opening round of the WTA 1000 event.
