Venus Williams Biography
Venus Ebony Starr Williams is a professional tennis player from the United States. Williams, a former world number one in both singles and doubles, has seven Grand Slam singles victories, five at Wimbledon and two at the US Open.
She is largely considered one of the sport’s all-time greats. Williams, like her younger sister Serena, was trained by her parents, Oracene Price and Richard Williams. She made her professional debut in 1994 and reached her first major final at the 1997 US Open.
Williams won Wimbledon and the US Open in 2000 and 2001, as well as Olympic singles gold in Sydney.
On February 25, 2002, she became the first African American woman to reach the singles world No. 1 ranking, and the second all-time after Althea Gibson.
She reached four straight major finals between 2002 and 2003, but in each match, she was defeated by Serena. She then battled from injuries, winning only one major title between 2003 and 2006.
Williams regained her form in 2007 when she won Wimbledon (a feat she repeated the following year). In 2010, she regained the world No. 2 ranking in singles but was sidelined again by injuries.
On the women’s professional tennis tour, the Williams sisters are recognized for ushering in a new age of power and athleticism. Williams holds the most WTA Tour singles titles among active players, with 49.
Her 73 WTA titles are also the most among active players, with 22 WTA doubles victories and two mixed doubles trophies. She is also the only active player to have reached the finals of all four majors in singles.
Williams was the season prize money leader twice (in 2001 and 2017) and is second only to Serena in all-time career prize money earnings, with approximately US$42 million as of March 2022.
