Venus Williams shared her thoughts on her sister's upcoming return to competitive tennis during a recent broadcast. Serena Williams received a wildcard entry for the doubles draw at the Queen's Club Championships. The 44-year-old has not played since 2022.
Venus Williams addressed questions about Serena's preparation during a TNT Sports broadcast on June 2. She noted that she rarely sees her sister on the court but praised her natural talent. “I don’t know how her form is. But what I will tell you is that she cannot hit for like four months, and I’ll be hitting, and she’ll come out and grab a racket and running shoes, and just hits a ton out of the ball,” Venus said. She added that Serena remains tenacious and capable despite limited recent practice. The announcement of Serena's wildcard for the grass-court event came after she completed a six-month anti-doping re-entry period earlier this year. Reactions from players including Coco Gauff and Andy Roddick highlighted excitement around the return. Venus has voiced similar optimism in prior interviews, describing herself as Serena's biggest fan and emphasizing her sister's enduring skill.
