We have seen the seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams fearlessly establishing astounding records on the tennis court. In a recent video shared by her activewear brand “Eleven by Seven” Instagram handle, she can be seen warming up before doing what she does best. Safe to say, her “goofy trait” comes out to the fore. Although it is a trait mostly associated with her younger sister Serena Williams, Venus too sometimes can step up her game. Especially during a warmup, because who does not want to add some spice to boring routines?

Venus Williams is all set to make her comeback at the Libema Open, a WTA 250 event this June. Making her grass-court season comeback has surely made her fans even more inquisitive about her training routine.

The American tennis star might not be participating at the French Open, but she surely is not missing out on her routine. Confirming her most-anticipated comeback, the player will take part at the Libema Open as a wild-card entry player. Hitting the court and training for her comeback, Williams has added some fun to her warm-up routine.

The previous edition of “Warm Up Convos With Vee” received a lot of love from tennis fans. Venus Williams has always been calm and composed of the two sisters. However, while  warming up, she made sure to imbibe Serena Williams’ goofy vibe.

So, once again, she hit the court, and adorning a clayey orange fit wear, Venus brought in the second edition of the video series. Starting with some freestyle dance moves, she stated, “Music’s always only in my head.”

The video also featured her beloved mother Oracene Price’s voice. While doing a lazy workout routine, she asked her mother, “Hey Mom, this is my favorite warm-up huh?” To this, her mother added even more satire into the scenario. Price contributed to a hearty laugh for the viewers by saying, “Yeah! For years!” Accepting her fate, Williams stated, “Nothing’s changed.”

In the next shot, the American player did some yoga stretching while lying on the court, but the sun was bothering her. She could be heard saying, “It’s getting hot. I am already done…It’s got too hot. I’ve gotta stop.”

Then mimicking a pose from horror movies, Venus too attempted to walk like them. She stated, “This is like in the horror movie. This is how they walk. Except like really fast.” So, eventually, it turned out to be more hilarious than scary. Once again, she had to give up, and she accepted, “That’s not scary. That’s just stupid.”

However, too much goofing around drowned her energy levels. So, she started snooping around for some sugar rush through her kit and said, “I feel good. Where’s the chocolate?” But she eventually ended up dropping something.

But after all games and jokes, she finished with a zealous touch as she picked up her racquet and said, “Time to play ball!”
