The Straits Times
|July 31, 2025
Venus Williams, who made a comeback on July 21 after more than a year's hiatus from competitive tennis, will compete alongside Reilly Opelka in the mixed doubles at the US Open.
-
NEW YORK -
The American, a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion who turned 45 in June, and compatriot Opelka were among six of 14 teams handed wild cards on July 29 to the revamped event in August by the United States Tennis Association.
Williams won her opening singles and doubles match at the Washington Open last week in her first WTA tournament since the 2024 Miami Open.
She is also set to play as a wild card in the Cincinnati Open in August and could ask for a US Open singles wild card. Those are expected to be announced in about two weeks.
