The comeback of the 44-year-old Venus Williams has made headlines in the past few days. But now it is clear: it will not happen.
The seven-time Grand Slam tournament winner Venus Williams will not return to the tennis tour for the time being. The 44-year-old American struck a wildcard for the Masters 1,000 tournament in Indian Wells in March, said tournament director Tommy Haas. The German ex-professional in the statement on platform X did not give one reason for this.
It was only on Wednesday that the organizers in California announced that Williams would return after almost a one -year break. The last time she started in early 2024 when she failed in Indian Wells and the subsequent Masters in Miami in the first round.
In the world rankings, the former number one can only be found in 975.
