Venus
Williams, the American tennis legend, showcased her new pink hairdo on social
media during her vacation in Paris.
The
43-year-old player recently had an early exit from Wimbledon, losing to
eventual semifinalist Elina Svitolina in two sets. However, she is now enjoying
some time off in Paris as she prepares for the WTA 1000 Canadian Open, where
she received a wild card to play in the main draw.
Currently
ranked world No. 528, Venus shared a picture of her eye-catching pink hair on
her social media accounts. She accompanied the photo with the song
"Pink" by the American band Aerosmith, adding a fun touch to her new
hairstyle.
“It was
love at first sight,” Venus Williams wrote on Instagram.
Venus
Williams' year has indeed been challenging, especially after the past few
years, where injuries have hindered her from competing regularly. Despite being
the oldest player in the WTA ranking, the 7-time Grand Slam champion has shown
a strong desire to continue competing and has proven that she still has much to
offer.
In 2023,
she has played a total of 6 matches on the WTA tour, securing two victories and
facing four defeats. Her first win came in January at the ASB Classic, where
she advanced to the second round after defeating her compatriot Katie Volynets,
but then fell to China's Zhu Lin.
An injury
kept her off the courts for the following months, but she made her return
during the grass court season, where she achieved a victory at the Birmingham
Open, just a week before Wimbledon.
In the opening round
of Wimbledon, Venus Williams caused an upset by defeating the Italian Camila
Giorgi in a thrilling match that went 7-6(5), 4-6, 7-6(8). She followed it up
with an intense battle in the round of 16 against the second seed Jelena Ostapenko, where the American fought valiantly but ultimately lost 3-6, 7-5, 3-6.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
