42-Year-Old Venus Williams Proves Setbacks Mean Nothing to Her as She Turns ‘Silly’ And Goofy Before Sweating It Out Fully in the Gym for Wimbledon Glory

Venus Williams, the American tennis icon with an illustrious career spanning over two decades, experienced a disappointing start to her comeback when she lost her first match at the Libema Open 2023. Having been out of action for a few months due to injury, Williams was eager to re-establish her dominance on the court. However, her much-anticipated return was met with a surprising defeat at the hands of a teenage Switzerland tennis player Celine Naef.

Despite her defeat, Venus decided to make it up with some workout sessions and hit the gym. But unlike others, the 7-time Grand Slam champion decided to make her experience joyful and resorted to doing some funny stunts at the gym. Even though she lost her first comeback match, these workout sessions are proof that Venus is prepping herself right for making a mark in Wimbledon.
