Despite Early US Open Exit, Venus Williams Treats Fans to a Glimpse of Serena Williams and Her Everlasting Legacy at the Historic Grand Slam

Venus Williams’ comeback has been short-lived. The American tennis legend made a return during the grass-court season earlier this year. However, she has suffered early exits in almost every tournament played. Further, in the ongoing US Open, the 43-year-old star’s campaign came to a premature end in the opening round, losing against Greet Minnen of Belgium.

Nonetheless, Venus treated fans with something special after her exit from her home Grand Slam tournament. Venus, along with her sister Serena, has been a force to reckon with at the US Open. While she has managed to win the tournament two times, Serena has lifted the US Open trophy on six occasions. Here’s a glimpse of their legacy that was shared by Venus.

During an interview, the American tennis legend once revealed how the two sisters ooze in confidence when they step onto the court. Talking about it, she said, “We were taught to make decisions and to believe in ourselves and to always have an answer. It’s the attitude of, ‘The impossible is actually possible’ and, ‘Making the impossible happen is like eating breakfast.’ That’s the childhood that I had.”

At 43, Venus is nearing the end of her illustrious career. While she hasn’t officially announced it, this season might potentially be the final one of her career.
