Venus William is back! The seven-time Grand Slam champion is in town for the Mubadala Citi D.C. Open tournament. This is the 45-year-old tennis star's first tournament in 16 months.

The younger Williams last played at the 2022 U.S. Open, which was her swan song as she revealed she was "evolving" from tennis—essentially retiring. However, Williams recently posted a video of herself hitting tennis balls on a court to social media, causing fans to wonder whether she was teasing a return to the sport in some way.

Venus Williams is paired with Reilly Opelka, and Wimbledon runner-up Amanda Anisimova is joined by Holger Rune on the updated list of teams signed up to try to enter the newfangled U.S.
