Venus Williams won't play Australian Open. heraldsun.com.au/sport/tennis/a…
For the first time since 1997, neither Serena Williams nor Venus Williams will play at the 2022 Australian Open.
The older Williams sister has not played since August because of a leg injury missing the US Open as well. Earlier this year Williams dropped out of the top 100 meaning she needed wild cards in order to play at grand slam events. Her ranking dropped even more in the past several months with the veteran being ranked outside of the top 300.
Venus Williams contested 13 of the past 14 Australian Opens, missing
only in 2012 while she was dealing with the debilitating effects of
auto-immune disease. It will be the first time since 1997 that neither Williams sister is in the Melbourne Park main draw. Williams just returned to her Florida base and is spending time with Serena and her daughter, Olympia, after visiting Paris.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
