Venus Williams, the iconic tennis player, has returned to the BNP Paribas Open, marking her first match since the US Open last year. Fans eagerly anticipate witnessing her comeback, with emotions running high as she graciously signs autographs courtside.
The journey back to competition hasn’t been easy for Williams. A knee injury sustained during Wimbledon 2023 initially sidelined her, but her determination drove her to enter three more tournaments before her body demanded a break. Now, after a prolonged hiatus, she is prepared to tackle the Sunshine Swing once again.
During her practice sessions at Indian Wells, fans eagerly awaited Williams’ presence courtside. As she approached to sign autographs, the crowd erupted in applause, leading to a heartfelt moment. “Thank you so much,” Williams humbly expressed her gratitude. Touched by the overwhelming support, she tearfully responded, “You’re making me cry.”
As a wildcard entry, Williams is slated to face a qualifier in the first round. If she advances, she will challenge seed No.17 Veronika Kudermetova in the second round.
