Vee for #AO2023 💙 🙌 This will mark @Venuseswilliams’ 22nd trip to Melbourne Park, 25 years after making her AO debut in 1998. #AusOpen
Venus Williams is coming back to play some more tennis as the Australian Open announced that the veteran has been awarded a wild card entry into the main draw.
There has been much speculation about Williams returning to tennis and she's going to do it. To be fair, she's always maintained that she'll keep playing as long as she's enjoying it and she's still enjoying it. She's only five years removed from making a final there so she might do some damage.
She's never won it though having played in two finals and she most likely never will. Still, Williams will be there showing fans a glimpse of herself. The announcement of her wild card featured a brief statement that reads:
“I am very excited to be returning to Melbourne to compete at the
Australian Open in January. I’ve been competing in the country for over 20 years now and the Australian community has always supported me wholeheartedly. It will be an honour to play for the fans again and I’m looking forward to making more memories at the tournament this year.”
It remains to be seen if her sister Serena will play as well. There have been rumours.

- 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".
