Venus Williams Returns to the Court in December
Absent from the courts since the 2024 WTA 1000 Miami edition, Venus Williams will make her return to the game in December, as she announced on her social media. The 45-year-old player will compete in the Charlotte Invitational, set to take place on December 4 in North Carolina, alongside her compatriots Keys, Fritz, and Tiafoe.
The event will be held at the Spectrum Center, a venue also used by basketball and hockey teams.
Last year, the inaugural edition drew 16,194 fans. Keys and Tiafoe were already part of the lineup. Another notable highlight: the legendary Williams will return to play in Charlotte 19 years after facing her sister Serena in an exhibition match in 2006.
