Venus Williams opened up about the speculations around her relationship with Serena Williams. The former has recently made a comeback to tennis after a break of almost 16 months.
While Serena retired from the sport in 2022, her sister, who last competed at the Miami Open last year, made a comeback to tennis at the Citi Open this year. In the tournament, she fell in the second round against Magdalena Frech, and in the doubles tournament, she couldn’t progress further than the second round.
Venus Williams sat for a conversation with Marie Claire, where she spoke about various aspects of her life, including her bond with her sister, Serena Williams. She expressed how people claimed that their bond was fake, as they competed against each other.
“There’s been kind of a fascination about Serena and I, right? Because we played [against] each other so many times and people were like: ‘How do they, like, get along? Do they really like each other? They’re just faking it,” she laughed.
“So we’re really excited to actually share more of ourselves. I don’t think a lot of people know that much about us when it really comes down to it, especially our dynamic together,” Venus added.
Venus Williams is expected to compete next at the Cincinnati Open, which is scheduled for August 5-19.
