At 44 years old, Venus Williams may no longer dominate the tennis court as she once did, but her legacy as one of the sport’s all-time greats remains untouchable. While her recent results haven’t set the tennis world alight, her presence at any tournament still commands attention, drawing fans who are eager to witness a living legend in action. In March 2025, Williams will grace the courts once again, as the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells has confirmed she will receive a wildcard entry.

The WTA 1000 event, scheduled for March 5-16, will mark Williams’ first competitive appearance in nearly a year.
