Venus Williams loves to teach tennis and would not mind spending her time teaching beginners how to play the sport.
Contrary to popular belief of tennis players not having the patience to deal with beginners in tennis, Venus Williams actually loves it. The American legendary player admitted that during a talk with Inc. where she touched upon many different topics:
"I love learning, and I love teaching. Believe it or not, I love teaching beginner's tennis. I love that moment when people's eyes light up and they think, 'Oh, I get it now!' You just have to be coachable."
Whether Williams transitions into coaching remains to be seen but she would be open to it. Her most recent interest is in all things digital:
"I honestly love digital plays. There may be a time when brick-and-mortar is necessary, but right now I'm obsessed with all things digital, even on our own platform. It's exciting to see, in real time, what people like, what they don't like... to be able to instantly adapt and respond."

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
