US tennis veteran, Venus Williams has disclosed that she may compete in the French Open for the first time since 2021.
The 4-time Olympic gold medalist made this known after losing to Kaitlin Quevedo 6-2, 6-4 in the first round at the Madrid Open.
Venus is a former World No. 1, reaching the top ranking on February 25, 2002.
Despite a 10th consecutive loss, she expressed enjoyment playing on clay and a desire to continue, though she will skip the Italian Open due to scheduling.
“Yeah, I mean, to get my feet dirty, this was a great start,” Williams said after the match. “We would love to keep it going on the clay.”
“All these things take adjustments. I haven’t really played on clay in years, but I enjoy it. It’s fun.”
Her major accomplishments include 7 Grand Slam singles titles and 14 Grand Slam doubles titles (all with Serena Williams).
