Venus Williams has announced she will play her first singles match in almost a year at the National Bank Open in Toronto. The US star has accepted a wildcard into the main draw and will join her sister, Serena, in competing.
Williams has not played a singles match since the Chicago Women’s Open last August, where she lost in the first round to Hsieh Su-Wei.
As a result, many speculated the 42-year-old may be calling time on her hall-of-fame-worthy singles career, but it appears Williams is not done just yet.
This will be Williams’ 11th appearance in Toronto, however, it has not been a happy hunting ground for the former world number one.
