Venus Williams announces absence from 2024 Australian Open, reveals plans for comeback

Venus Williams vs. Monica Puig exhibition match

Venus Williams recently revealed her 2024 tennis schedule, which will not include the Australian Open in January.

The 2023 season proved to be a challenging one for the American, who couldn't advance beyond the second round in any of the tournaments she participated in. The former World No. 1 last played in the North American hardcourt season, where she competed in the Canadian Open, Cincinnati Open, and the US Open. Her only victory in the three tournaments was against Veronika Kudermetova in Cincinnati.

Now, Williams has confirmed that she sustained an injury during the Wimbledon Championships this year, which hampered her performance in subsequent tournaments. She revealed her ongoing efforts towards regaining fitness and said that she is planning a return to the court in March 2024.

"I had a crazy fall at Wimbledon. I just slipped and I was out. I tried my best to recover for the US Open. I did not reach my form so now I am just resting until I get back. I am targeting March, that's when the tournaments go back to the States, so my goal is to be up and running when tournaments come back to the US," Williams said in a video posted on X (formerly Twitter).
