A decision that has split fans and observers, including journalist Benoît Maylin on X (formerly Twitter):
"And who gets invited for mixed doubles and singles at the US Open? Venus Williams. 45 years old. Ranked 577th. 2 matches in 2025. 2 in 2024. 0 wins in New York since 2019… I know, she’s a legend, but someone has to say stop. It’s getting ridiculous.
