In the age of social media, a single tweet can have a huge impact, and Chris Evert’s message is a prime example. Evert’s tweet shining a light on Venus Williams’ stunning return to the court read: “great comebacks from @Venuseswilliams and @Ons_Jabeur 👍👍👍👏👏👏”

Speaking of Ons Jabeur, she also didn’t back down from celebrating Venus Williams after her win either. She also called her the one who had inspired her comeback. The tennis world was treated to incredible skill and determination as the Wimbledon runner up scored a stunning victory over Anhelina Kalinina at the 2023 Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati.

Jabeur said in her post-match interview: “I heard some people telling me not to give up. And I saw Venus did it yesterday, coming back from 5-1. She’s an inspiration for me and for many players so I’ve got to thank her for the comeback today.” Praise for VW didn’t stop just there.

Not only on court but Venus’ triumph earned her applauds from off the court as well. Another respected American tennis star, Andy Roddick, spoke candidly on the “TC Live Podcast,” offering insight into the deep respect players share for one another. He recalled his feelings watching Venus Williams play at the US Open last year. He further talked about the challenges that come with getting older and the toll it takes on a player’s body.

“To see her move the way she did, to see her endure the rain delays on a body that’s closer to the end than to the beginning, starting and stopping, sweating, getting cold, getting warm again,” Roddick stated with pure respect in his voice.

Venus’ triumphant return to the court isn’t just about winning matches; it’s a testament to her unwavering spirit and passion for the game. As the tennis community rallies behind her, Venus Williams continues to inspire players of all ages with her determination and exceptional grace.
