Serena Williams chose last year’s US Open to make her exit, but her sister, Venus, is still living out her dream heading into the 2023 tournament at age 43.
The tennis great has been playing at the US Open for more than a quarter-century, but she hasn’t gotten past the women’s singles first round since 2019. Williams also hasn’t advanced to the quarterfinals in any grand slam event since 2017. Will this year be different?
Williams is set to start her US Open run against a much younger opponent, creating an all too familiar battle of experience vs. youth that the Williams sisters have become accustomed to later in their careers.
