Former World No.1 Venus Williams has been granted a wildcard entry to the National Bank Open (Rogers Cup) in Toronto this summer.

This will be Williams' first singles match in almost 12 months, with her most recent WTA singles outing being at the Chicago Women's Open last August.
Her last singles victory came against Mihaela Buzarnescu at Wimbledon 2021. Williams, 42, returned to action in mixed doubles at Wimbledon this month, partnering Jamie Murray to reach the second round.
Venus will join her sister, Serena Williams, who entered using her protected ranking. The National Bank Open will run from August 8-14, 2022, and is one of the bigger tournaments used to warm-up for the US Open.

- 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".
