Soon after the announcement that Venus Williams will play her first singles match in nearly 12 months at the August 8-14 National Bank Open in Toronto, the news is out that the American will return to competition earlier, at the August 1-7 Citi Open in Washington, D.C.
Seven-time Grand Slam singles champion and four-time Olympic gold medalist Venus Williams will make her Citi Open debut as a wildcard at the 2022 tournament in Rock Creek Park.
“I am excited to be playing the Citi Open for the first time this summer,” said Williams.
