Legendary American tennis star Venus Williams has at least one more go in her, after all.
The 45-year-old received a wild-card invitation from the US Tennis Association (USTA) on Wednesday, which grants her permission to compete in the women's singles tournament at the 2025 US Open, which will mark her return to Grand Slam tennis after a two-year absence. She will be the oldest entrant in a US Open singles tournament, which begins on Aug. 24, since 1981, when 47-year-old Renee Richards competed.
Williams will be entered in two different competitions at the Queens-based Grand Slam, hosted by the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. She previously received a wild-card invitation to compete in the mixed doubles competition alongside Reilly Opelka, which begins on Aug. 19.
