VENUS WILLIAMS IS BACK 😍 VENUS WILLIAMS TO MAKE SINGLES COMEBACK IN TORONTO

Venus Williams will play her first singles match in nearly 12 months at the National Bank Open after being awarded a wild card into the main draw. Venus Williams' most recent singles outing was at the Chicago Women's Open last August, where she lost in the first round to Hsieh Su-Wei. Her last singles victory came against Mihaela Buzarnescu at Wimbledon 2021.

Williams, returned to action in mixed doubles at Wimbledon this month, partnering Jamie Murray to reach the second round. Toronto previously has been a milestone tournament for Williams. In 1995, at 15 years old, she made her Tier I debut (the equivalent of today's WTA 1000 category) at the event after receiving a wild card.

Losing to Sabine Appelmans in the first round. Despite that, the city has not been Williams' happiest hunting ground. She owns a 2-7 record in Toronto, with her best performance to date being a third-round showing in 2017. However, she was the 2014 runner-up to Agnieszka Radwanska at the National Bank Open's sister iteration in Montréal.

Venus will join sister Serena, who entered using her protected ranking, in the field, along with 2019 champion Bianca Andreescu, who has also received a wild card, and a full Top 10 slate led by World No.1 Iga Swiatek. Venus Williams, since turning pro in the late 90s, has stamped her status as one of the best in the sport.

She has astonishing records in almost all categories and has brought her nation four gold Olympic medals. However, to become what she is today, Williams had to give up some moments that an average person cherishes the most.

Williams never had a normal childhood, according to her. Unlike other children, she had to follow a strict regime which took away the little joys. The joys, such as having an assortment of sweets in lunch boxes. Here’s what the seven-time Grand Slam champion feels about the same.

Williams, while in an interview in 2002, spoke about how she is still angry at her mother for making her stick to a schedule that made her feel envious of other kids. She said, “most kids in their lunch boxes have little happy juices and stuff. We didn’t get juices, we got milk! It ruined my childhood, you know. All my friends got Captain Crunch cereal or Froot Loops, and we had to have Puff Wheat.”

Thereafter, she chuckled and said, “So cruel! No Froot Loops! Of course, when I confront her, Mom makes excuses. She didn’t want us to have sugar because we were already all bouncing off the walls. But that’s no good to me now! The damage is done!”
