Venus Williams has denied receiving a wild card for the main draw of the 2025 WTA Indian Wells. The American winner of seven Grand Slam singles titles has not played since the Indian Wells and Miami Masters 1000 events in 2024, where she lost in the first round to Nao Hibino and Diana Shnaider, respectively. Today, despite it appearing confirmed that Venus would return to play at 44 years old, she confirmed at an event that the information is not accurate: "Seriously? I have not received any wild card! I'm not going to play it. Sorry, I'll watch it on TV because I am on the other side of the ocean," she said jokingly from Denmark.
