The incredible statistic showing Venus Williams' longevity
At 45 years old, Venus Williams still has the hunger to compete intact. Although she has yet to win a match so far in 2026, the former world number one ranks second in a statistic that showcases her longevity. 31 years and 125 days is the time that has elapsed between the first and last tournament played by Venus, an astonishing fact. Only Martina Navratilova surpasses her, with 32 years and 107 days. However, as long as the American tennis player remains eager to compete, she could break that record around this time next year.
