Venus Williams accepts 2023 Australian Open wildcard spot

According to the WTA Tour, seven-time grand slam champion Venus Williams of the United States has accepted a wild card spot for the 2023 Australian Open. In addition to receiving a wildcard spot for the 2023 Australian Open, Williams has accepted an invite to the 2023 ASB Classic in Auckland.

Williams is 42 years of age, and has reached two Australian Open women’s singles finals. On both occasions, Venus lost to her younger sister, Serena Williams in the final. In 2003, the score was 7-6, 3-6, 6-4. In 2017, the score was 6-4, 6-4. The tennis world believed that Serena Williams would retire after the 2022 United States Open. There was a glamorous presentation at Flushing Meadows honouring Serena. However, there is a belief now that Serena Williams has opened the door to a possible return to tennis when she said in October “the chances are very high” and that she has a court at her house according to Chris Bengal of CBS Sports.

For now we know that the Williams sister who is playing is Venus. Even though Venus Williams has never won the Australian Open, she did win the 2015 Auckland Open, where she defeated Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark in the final, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. It was one of three titles Venus Williams won in 2015, as she also won the 2015 Wuhan Open by beating Garbine Muguruza of Spain in the final, 6-3, 3-0, and the 2015 WTA Elite Trophy in Zhuhai, China by beating Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic, 7-5, 7-6 in the final.

Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic has been granted a visa to play at the 2023 Australian Open. He was unable to compete in 2022 because he was unvaccinated for Coronavirus.
