Alongside her sister Serena Williams, she claimed 14 Grand Slam doubles titles, going undefeated in finals. Venus also boasts four Olympic gold medals and played a crucial role in the fight for equal prize money.

Now 44, Williams has still not retired from pro tennis, unlike her younger sister Serena, who retired after the 2022 US Open. Last year, Venus received wildcards to play at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells and the Miami Open. She was ousted in the first round of both events.

However, later in the year, in an interview with the Irish News, Venus expressed a desire to continue playing.

"I’m not done with the racket yet... At this point, it’s about picking and choosing places I want to be. Last year I really wanted to play in Miami – home – because I hadn’t played there in like five years," Venus Williams said.

"It’s nice to be in a place where I can pick and choose, but my game is always at a high level. Even if I’m not on tour, I always keep my game quite high," she added.

In February 2025, it was announced that Williams will receive a wildcard to play at the Indian Wells event again. She even shared posts about her return to training and fans will await her return to the court on the big stage.
