Watch: Venus and Serena Williams all smiles as they hit the tennis court again for practice session

Venus and Serena Williams were back on the tennis court practicing again. The Williams sisters have been prominent figures in tennis since the '90s. They share 30 Grand Slam singles titles cumulatively between them, with Venus having seven and Serena winning 23.

Serena Williams, 42, retired in September 2022, but her elder sister Venus, 43, is still playing professionally. Venus competed at the 2023 US Open back in August, where she was knocked out by Belgium's Greet Minnen in the first round.

A video posted on X (formerly Twitter) featured Venus Williams putting on a pink tracksuit and a white cap, while Serena donned a black tracksuit and a pink cap. The sisters were seen laughing while getting ready.

Off the tennis court as well, the Williams sisters have been in the spotlight. Earlier in November, Serena Williams received the Fashion Icon of the Year award at the Council of Fashion Designers of America award ceremony in New York. Venus Williams was present and active at the Paris Fashion Week back in October.
