The 42-year old in her recent Instagram post expressed how much she owed to the sport. She said, ” I give it everything every time I step out on the court. That has set the pattern for my life off the court too. I owe so much to tennis and sport. It’s been my greatest teacher. And it still is. ” But what was strange about the post?

The strange part about the picture is that Venus Williams was captured playing left-handed. Rennae Stubbs said in the comments,” Are u [you] leftie now?”, asking Williams if she plans to play left-handed now. It was a mere throwaway comment but watching Venus Williams as a left-hander could be a lifetime experience.
