Venus Williams is one of the most decorated players in tennis history. While claiming over 73 titles during her almost 30-year career, Venus has traveled around the globe every year. When one travels frequently, they need to carry certain essential items, which can differ from person to person. The seven-time grand slam champion carries one item in her bag, which has been present since she turned pro. As she enters Wimbledon, she made her fans experience notalgic about seeing a young Venus Williams. It even got a reaction from her sister, Serena Williams.

Williams has not played a lot on the tour this year. However, she will be playing in the Wimbledon Championships after receiving a wild card. After playing in the Libema Open and the Birmingham Classic, Queen V will return to her favorite tournament.

Venus makes fans and sister, Serena Williams, remember the good old days 

Following the tradition of Throwback Thursday, Williams shared a picture from when she was a novice on the WTA Tour. Although she went out of the 1997 Wimbledon in the first round, Williams entered the tour in style, with her iconic beaded hairstyle. To maintain the style, she carried a mirror to keep her hair, resplendent in beads, in check.

She added the caption to the post, where she talked about her first year as a pro and how her priorities were much different back then. She was astounded by the size of the mirror her younger self carried, but makes sure she still keeps one with her now, albeit small. Back then, the mirror was to keep her hair in check. Now, she uses it in case something gets in her eye.
