Venus Williams opened up about denying the Indian Wells wildcard ahead of her Milan trip with Andrea Preti

Venus Williams made rounds over the internet ahead of the commencement of Indian Wells, as the tournament announced that she had received a wild card entry to the event. However, shortly after this, Williams denied the news just days before heading to Milan with her boyfriend, Andrea Preti.

In her recent appearance on the Tennis Weekly Podcast, the American revealed that she had already made commitments beforehand and had to stay overseas for the same.

"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.

She added:

"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."

Venus Williams has won 49 WTA Tour-level singles titles, including seven majors, of which five were at Wimbledon and two in the US Open.
