The 2024 US Open was full of excitement. America’s impressive performance, awkward spectator moments, and more made it a memorable tournament. American players, including Taylor Fritz, struck a chord with the audience with great attempts to win the title. While it couldn’t see the dawn of glory, everyone, including the legendary Venus Williams, had only compliments, offering positive predictions about USA’s future in the sport.

In an interview with ABC News, Williams expressed a proud and happy state of mind while talking about the great show by American players. Although she appeared on the show to discuss her latest book, Strive, this former WTA number-one delved into her happiness about Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, and Jessica Pegula’s incredible performance at the last US Open. She also mentioned Coco Gauff’s epic victory at the last year’s American Slam.

“Yeah, it’s very invigorating for the US tennis, and obviously Coco won last year, and it was great for American tennis, great for her too, obviously. And then this year, you know, Fritz in men’s finals and Frances in semifinals, just very exciting.“ The visible happiness on Venus’ face could show her pride in seeing the potential among so many American players in the US Open.

A legend in the sport, Williams’ opinion brings a stream of encouragement to players, given she has championed the American hard court twice in her career.

Williams has always been dedicated to the racket sport despite several of her ventures. While she excelled in many other fields, such as entrepreneurship and writing, tennis has been her primary objective. While she motivates American ATP and WTA players with her sweet words, one must not forget her tremendous contribution to the field. Williams is still in the mood to continue her professional career, offering a huge inspiration to young generation players about spirit and dedication.

Venus Williams wished to make an unimaginable feat in her professional career

Continuing her singles journey, William decided not to play doubles when her baby sister, Serena Williams, retired in 2022. Recalling how she witnessed the mountaintop glory with her talented sister, Williams believed it wasn’t possible to reach any further without Serena. However, her decision remained different about singles. When asked whether she wishes to continue her athletic journey when her colleagues have mostly retired, Williams surprised the fraternity with an interesting confession.

“It’s never been done before, so if there is anyone who could do it [continue to play tennis even at 50], it would be me,” she said in an interview last year. Williams revealed how important Grand Slams are for her, and she has decided to keep moving forward in her career. “My motivation is to keep going just as I have always done. I have reached a level that few others reach in life or anything,” she concluded.

Williams’ response to the glory of American tennis shows the sport still lives in her heart. Given that a legend like her has offered a positive outlook, there is hope that these young players have the potential to do great in their careers. While this year, no American star won the title, her revelations assure that soon, the glory of American tennis will leave everyone mesmerized with many potential legacy bearers.
