About

The seven-time Grand Slam champion engineered a stunning comeback to competitive tennis in July 2025 after more than a year away, defeating world No. 35 Peyton Stearns at the DC Open to become the oldest tour-level match winner in over two decades. Her decorated career spans three decades with 49 WTA singles titles, 22 doubles championships, and five Olympic medals, including four golds that cement her status as the most decorated female tennis player in Olympic history. Williams launched V*Starr Interiors, an award-winning interior design firm, and EleVen by Venus Williams, a performance-driven fashion brand merging athletic functionality with contemporary style. Her South Florida upbringing shaped her competitive foundation, establishing deep roots in Miami's tennis community where she made her Open debut nearly three decades ago. In 2026, she received wild cards to compete in Auckland, Hobart, and the Australian Open, signaling her determination to extend one of sports' greatest legacies.
