Even though Venus Williams has not played professionally in a while, she has been busy with her other business ventures. One of them is her own clothing line, titled Eleven by Venus, which has its own Instagram page.
The Instagram page for Eleven by Venus recently presented fans with an avenue for interaction with Venus Williams herself. Through an ‘Ask-Me-Anything’ tag on their stories, they opened the floor for fans to ask questions to Venus directly.
Immediately, fan questions came flowing in from all ends. One fan asked her about her relationship status with Reilly Opelka. Another fan asked about Venus’ ideas on something as absurd as time travel!
