"Holding my head up high no matter what happened" - Venus Williams reveals the proudest moment of her career
Venus Williams is considered one of the best tennis players of all time. She has enjoyed great success in her illustrious career.
In 2022, the former World No. 1 interacted with fans and was asked about the proudest moment of her career. She said in response that despite not feeling her best during some matches, she always gave her all on the court.
She was quoted as saying:
"My proudest moment, I think, is not, in particular, like one match. My proudest moment would be just holding my head up high no matter what happened, no matter how you feel on court. There are a lot of days when I have walked out and have not felt amazing, but I gave my best and I held my head up high. At that moment, that's all I had, so that's what I gave."
Venus partnered with her younger sister Serena Williams for the doubles at the 2022 US Open. The pair suffered a first-round defeat to Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova.
