Venus Williams granted wildcard entry to 2021 Wimbledon Championships
WTAThursday, 17 June 2021 at 05:00
Former champion Venus Williams was named as a wildcard recipient for the 2021 Wimbledon Championships, as the tournament organizers released the initial list of wildcards on Wednesday.
The American has won the singles title on five occasions, with an additional six doubles titles at the grass-court major. However, she turns 41 this month and has seen her WTA ranking drop to World No.103.
Williams has struggled to find her form this season, as she has not progressed past the opening round of any tournament since reaching the second round of the Australian Open in February.
Nonetheless, the seven-time Grand Slam singles titlist will be reaching another career milestone, as she competes in the singles draw 21 years after winning her first Wimbledon title in 2000.

- 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".
