Incidentally, this was the first time in many months we saw Venus practice with intensity on the tennis court. Also, her father, the legendary Richard Williams, was observing the practice session closely. After their practice, they all posed together for a picture. 

Notably, Wimbledon is one of Venus’ favorite Grand Slam tournaments, winning the event 5 times in her career. Now, she is possibly passing some of her expert knowledge about the Wimbledon Championships to the young American, who has a singles ranking of 792 at the moment.

During a recent question-and-answer session on Instagram, a fan asked Venus about her participation at this year’s Wimbledon. Although the American tennis legend was sad to announce her withdrawal, she felt pretty excited to see her younger sister Serena back on the tennis court. It is worth noting that the Williams Sisters are still undefeated in the doubles tournament at Wimbledon. They have a hundred percent record there, winning 6 titles.
