Meanwhile, Venus also mentioned her hairstyle, which was pretty short and black at that time. During the early days of her career, she debuted her braided hairstyle, which became instantly popular.

Then, she had plenty of different hairstyles over the years. Sometimes, it’s short, sometimes it’s blonde, and plenty more. Recently, she brought back her braids from the ’90s during the ‘King Richard’ premiere. In a recent Q&A session on Instagram, she talked about bringing her blond color back as well.

Also, the legendary American shared a few workout videos on her Instagram and talked about strengthening her knee through various exercises. It’s pretty certain that she is getting ready for Wimbledon, her favorite Grand Slam event.

Her younger sister, Serena has also announced her possible return at the same tournament. Now, it will be interesting to see if they can make their mark, which will be difficult for sure.

They haven’t played on the tour for a very long time, which is not ideal for both of them. However, the Williams Sisters are different from most players and fans are hoping to see Serena win her 24th Grand Slam title at SW19.
