Two-time champion Venus Williams has received a wildcard entry to the upcoming US Open, the United States Tennis Association announced Wednesday.
Williams, 42, won back-to-back titles at his Meadows in Flushing in 2000 and he won in 2001, but missed the 2021 tournament due to his leg injury.
This will be Williams' 23rd appearance at his Grand Slam event on August 29 in New York.
The former world No. 1 is a five-time Wimbledon champion and his career winnings exceed his $42 million.
Williams has lost in the first round in each of the last three events, including his 6-2 6-3 loss to Jill He Teichmann in Toronto last week.
