Venus Williams is targeting to play again around Indian Wells and Miami as she reveals that her “little sister” Serena Williams told her she was “not allowed to quit” pro tennis.
Venus Williams, who will be celebrating her 44th birthday in June, hasn’t played since exiting the US Open in the first round. At the US Open, Williams was hampered by a knee issue and she decided at the time that taking an injury break to address the issue was the best solution.
While seven-time Grand Slam champion Williams is missing the start of the 2024 season, she hopes to be back in action in early March.
