So far, Venus has been experiencing a disappointing return to tennis. An injury forced her to sit out the Australian Open and the French Open, while she walked out of the event in SW19 in the first round. Currently, she is doing everything in her power to prepare for her home Slam, the US Open. Despite the busy schedule, her fans were fully expecting to see Queen V in her sister’s ‘Pre-Push Party’. But she was nowhere to be found.

Venus Williams was in Montreal for the National Bank Open. She received a wildcard for this week’s Canadian Open and participated in the WTA 1000 event. Despite facing a first round exit at the hands of Madison Keys, Venus spent a few days in the town. She had to land early and start practicing in the courts. But she was in full party mode when she was with her sister during her special gender reveal party.

Venus had dropped an iconic reaction at Serena’s baby’s gender reveal party. It went viral, and the image did rounds on social media.
