One thing is clear as Venus Williams gets ready for her comeback at the DC Open: she is more than simply in the game. With her sister. Although Serena may have quit professional tennis almost two years ago, Venus still misses her in the game. According to the Associated Press, Venus Williams brightened up when reporters questioned her about a recent video of Serena Williams hitting strong groundstrokes similar to how she used to. Not with astonishment, but with that well-known combination of love and desire.

'This would be ideal if she were here'

“I continue to remind my staff. “The only thing that would make this better is if she were here,” said Venus Williams. She didn't have to specify who she was referring to. "We always did everything together. So of course I miss her," she said, according to the Associated Press.

She is too wise to guess about a comeback. "She will let you all know if she comes back," Williams stated, adding, "I'm sure she will let you all know."

Just like in the good old days, it was a hit everywhere

Williams said that Serena made an appearance at a recent practice session. It was nothing major, simply sisters doing what they've always done since they were little. Serena's ball-striking remained as potent as ever, even after a break.

“She clocks it clean, even if she takes six months off. You can't teach that. Venus Williams remarked, "She's just so good."

Venus Williams keeps turning up

At the age of 45, Venus hasn't competed in a tour match since March 2024, when she was defeated in the first round of the Miami tournament. Her most recent triumph, according to CNN, was in Cincinnati in 2023. She is not ranked and is formally inactive. The question is, why does she continue? Her response doesn't mention any records.

"I believe in love." “My family, my friends - they keep me grounded,” she said.

She has seen both the highs and the lows. The applause may not always be as important as the silent support.

"They're there when it's at its worst. And they are there when the tide is high as well. In some ways, that might be challenging. Love, though, is what gets you through,” she told CNN.
