Plant-Based Athlete Venus Williams To Return To US Open

Plant Based News • Aug 24, 2026
Venus Williams, a renowned plant-based athlete, has been given a wildcard entry to compete in the US Open singles tennis tournament this year. At 46 years old, she has been granted direct entry into the main draw, where she will showcase her skills as a seven-time Grand Slam and two-time US Open women’s singles champion. Venus has credited her primarily plant-based diet for transforming her athletic performance and health, even helping to alleviate symptoms of the autoimmune disease Sjogren’s Syndrome.

Last year, Venus received a wild card to compete in the US Open, becoming the oldest entrant in singles in decades. There is speculation that her sister, Serena Williams, may also potentially take a wildcard place to compete alongside Venus. Despite her age, Venus continues to impress with her powerful serve, reaching speeds of up to 113 miles per hour. Tennis fans eagerly anticipate seeing the Williams sisters in action at the upcoming tournament at the end of August.
