The seven-time Grand Slam champion received the top-20 pass, which is given to former World No. 1s, who were part of the Top 20 in 2022 or who have already won a Grand Slam tournament, the WTA Finals, or a category 1000 single event.
"@Venuseswilliams earns a bye for the #OBN23 , marking her highly anticipated return to Montreal since 2018. The seven-time Grand Slam champion is ready to wow the crowd once again," tweeted the official account of the Canadian Open.
