Venus Williams Eager to Play Against Sister Serena Williams in 2020

The global tennis community is at a halt. The unfortunate novel coronavirus has swept across the globe, leading to the cancellation and/or suspension of various tournaments. After months of hiatus, players are eager to come back to the tennis court. With the US Open ready to start later in August, there is a sigh of relief among athletes and fans. One of the athletes who is looking forward to resuming her sporting endeavors is none other than the former world number 1, Venus Williams.

Venus Williams to return to the court soon?

On her Youtube channel, Venus interacted with fans, answered their questions, and discussed all aspects of returning to play. One of the fans asked who she’s looking forward to playing with. In response, Venus told that she is excited to resume her doubles career alongside her sister, Serena Williams.

“Which opponent am I excited to play? Hmm… I can’t wait to play doubles with Serena. We just have had a blast at the doubles court. We have got a lot of success. I noticed that the thing I missed the most is playing doubles. I am looking forward to joining her on the doubles court and I just don’t care whom I play against. Who’s across the net, as long as there’s a net and there’s a match. Right?”

She seemed nostalgic about the success she has shared with her sister. The last time Venus played a competitive match was back in February.

Scary environment

One fan also asked whether Venus is willing to play without supporters in the stands. In response, the world number 40 said that playing in front of the crowd, at this point in time, might prove dangerous. Instead, she looks at tennis like any other business or job. She also admitted that it’s boring for her to sit around at home. Venus is eager to return, and she won’t mind if she needs to play behind closed doors.

Venus also revealed that she is a bit scared, given the current global crisis. Her biggest fear is contracting the virus asymptomatically. However, she is hopeful that everything will be fine. Therefore, it can be assumed that fans will be able to see Venus Williams play at the US Open that starts on August 31.
