Venus Williams continues to add up. The 45-year-old tennis player is still going strong, and after her return to the courts last summer, the eldest of the Williams sisters returns to the place where she has won four doubles titles and reached two singles finals: the Australian Open. The tournament organizers have granted her a wildcard for the main draw. Therefore, starting from January 18, Venus Williams will make an appearance at the first Grand Slam of the season, five years after her last participation in 2021.
