What's the next step for me? | Venus Williams

[@jm7804]

Venus. We love you so much. Don't feel any pressure to make announcements or retire. Go out when you're ready to go out and not a second sooner. Those of us with autoimmune disease find you to be a true inspiration. I have RA. Some days I can workout for an hour and a half and still serve a tennis ball at 100 mph. Some days I can't open a jar and it hurts to even move. To see you keep pushing day in and day out to live your best life is amazing to witness. Every time we get to see you compete is a gift. Put it all out there on the table is right. Life is very short.

[@ARZ1987]

Venus is determined to be the last legend standing on tour and I am absolutely living for it. Long live Queenus 👑 🎾🎾🎾.

[@tomgraham3206]

Venus is really funny. She never fails to make me laugh, whether it be her laconic press conferences after a loss or her monologues on KZbin.

[@musicrocksoffical]

Hey Venus. I’m just a boy from Mississippi that loves tennis. You’ve always been a big inspiration for me and inspired me to get through some such as anxiety, depression, ect. Thank you for your dedication to this sport! We love you Queenus. ❤❤❤

[@VenusWilliams]

Love this, thanks for sharing!

[@K4R3N]

She takes the time to respond and connect with us! Love this. Little bit of encouragement, guidance, connection can mean so much to someone. Thank you Venus!

[@musicrocksoffical]

[@pierrelopes2073]

Hi venus, My name is Pierre, I live in Rio de Janeiro here in Brazil. I was thrilled with the movie "King Richard: Raising Champions". Your story, Your sister and your family is very beautiful and inspiring, I came here to say how much your story touched me, I confess that I cried with emotion! Congratulations on all your achievements, you deserve it! PS: I'm using google translator because I don't know English! hahaha

[@rowenvarrie9206]

Love the realness....getting off the topic at times so awesome

[@svetcovladich9996]

You're a strong role model as a human being who has a healthy, winning attitude on life. You seem so positive and optimistic towards the daily challenges of life and you celebrate the successes which we all aspire to in our own professions and walks of life. Keep on inspiring us and just being a positive influence. Go Compton, and go Long Beach (where I'm from)... Peace to you, Venus.

Venus, please stay on tour a little longer🤞🏾 But I love these update videos and I'm interested in knowing the process that you & team Eleven go through to get a line out. It'll be fun to see you in your designer/entrepreneur element.

[@rasheawhite3644]

Hey Venus 🤗 Thanks for the update and motivation at the end. I haven't been to the gym in 3 days 😭 but will be back in the groove tomorrow!🏋️. The fall is here and winter is right around the corner. I am determined to stay fit during the "NYC it's too cold to walk to the gym but I'm going anyway" days. 😂 Stay blessed 🙏

[@A_friendwithoutbenefits]

I cannot think of another tennis player still playing today who was playing in the MID-90s. Longevity. Venus is the last legend from the 90s era still standing!

[@cybersecurity336]

if only you knew venus how much you inspire me. hopefully ill see you on tour when im ready to go pro🤞🏾

[@DutchHPfan1992]

Venus be like the answer to your questions is there isn't an answer and I'm going to make a lovely 8 minute video about that. How can you not love her? :p

[@VenusWilliams]

Good seeing youuuu! Im excited to see what you’re working on🥰

Love you Venus & you always keep it 100%

[@terrilandry8753]

You have such a nice way of communicating, peacful,respectful, smart! Broadcasting would be good!

[@VenusWilliams]

Maybe one day!

[@gtan307]

You’re already a legend. You already earned the rights to go for whatever directions you want to go. You can evolve, semi evolve, or fully play on tour because at this point everything is already a bonus. You can even only play strictly on grand slams if you don’t want to play full tour (maybe one warmup tournaments beforehand if you want). Whatever you choose, we fully support you.

[@milvao3400]

She's accepting wild cars, which means that she's taking away a spot from a young player who's trying to make it. Navratilova was heavily criticized for accepting two wildcards at the French and Wimbledon back in 2004

[@CalebSingsxD09]

@@milvao3400 that narrative is outdated. She doesn’t have control over receiving them and it’s not too often that any player high ranking or low don’t turn them down when tournaments issue those out and some tournaments require a few matches before issuing them out as long as the player has been active. She can’t help she was successful stop with reaching narratives that hold weight. How’s something that’s rewarded considered taking away from the next?

[@milvao3400]

​@@CalebSingsxD09 She has no control over receiving them, but she has control over asking. She could go and play small tournaments, ITFs. Agassi did that. Sharapova should have done that, after doping. Hingis came back in 2005, got a WC for the Australian Open and she reached the Quarterfinals. Navratilova shouldn't have played singles in 2004. Clijsters won the US Open as a wildcard in 09 I believe, and she also came back in 2020 but she played and lost only 4-5 matches and then she was wise and smart enough to stop her comeback. A Wildcard is NOT a reward. A wildcard is an opportunity for the player to play and win points and get her real ranking faster after an injury or some kind of retirement. And it is also an opportunity for the tournament to have that player in the draw. Venus is playing regularly, but her ranking is low because she doesn't win. Let's be honest here. if she asks for wildcards for an entire year, she's a legend, she can do that... but sooner or later she's got to win some matches and have a ranking, otherwise I don't think that tournaments will keep giving her wildcards and I don't think she'd keep asking them either. And I don't think she'd play ITFs.

[@sharonllightfoot1689]

It’s a game for life and I enjoy hearing your journey! You’ll always be in great shape! 🎾👟🏸❤

[@kaesnow2380]

Love your updates!! Keep them coming!! You being you ❤. Your warmth and optimism is just what I needed to keep me on track today!

[@venuswilliamsfans3360]

Best wishes venus ❤️

[@robbrien8506]

With her melodic, soothing voice, she would be great at narrating books!

[@kevinharris3993]

Venus your entire family is so inspiring, not just for people of color, but all families in general. During the pandemic, you had workouts with some of the greatest celebrities. The workouts helped me alot but your ability to get celebrities to open up was journalism at its best. When Robin Roberts or Gayle King retire, you are natural replacement. I am just saying ❤❤❤

[@samuelcrenshaw7405]

Thank you so much for sharing this with me Venus!!!!! Greetings everyone from Birmingham 😎

[@VenusWilliams]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@elvykamunyokomanunebo1441]

Looking forwards to the next update: Hopefully something amazing :) We never know what the future has in store for us, so we strive to make it a reality Loving the natural look xxx

Couldn't agree more!

[@tonibarrett8809]

“Candy bars is not what’s next for me” 😂 I love it and I can relate!!! 😍 love you Vee.. I’ll be watching & waiting!

[@MPTennis]

Venus, you inspired me when I was 9 and you keep on inspiring me. Thank you for sharing and best of luck moving forward. And I love hearing that you are still training!😀

[@maxsuelfreitas9850]

A living legend! my dream is to see you play a live match, or at least see you in person, it would be amazing Venus!!! 🇧🇷💘🇺🇲

Love you venus. You r my inspiration

[@martinezdirce9225]

So lovely ; loved your advice “a life without regrets…” ♥️

[@daenerysbaegaryen9349]

Don’t scare me like that, Venus!!!! 😂😂😂 Love you! Support you in anything you do.

[@RJLNetwork]

Venus, whatever the next step in life you decide to make, i know that you will make the right choice for you. Maybe a family is next for you. Maybe some travelling to do some motivational speaking to young kids so that they can make good decisions in there futures. Maybe just taking a break from life for a while and doing some soul searching. Venus, my Queen, the first day of the rest of your life is waiting. Take your time and enjoy the good things you have and maybe help others enjoy what they have too. Maybe broadcasting with the networks during tournaments is an idea. You have so many open roads in front of you my Queen. Choose the one that will lead you to the most happiness. I love you! 😍😍😘😘🥰🥰

Love this, thanks so much for the support and encouragement!!!!!
