Venus Williams reportedly made bigger news when hinting her sister Serena is pregnant with second child. “I’m going to be called ‘favorite aunt,'” Venus said when asked what she wants the baby to call her. Williams also said she and her sisters, Lyndrea and Isha Price, are lobbying to have the baby named after them. “We’re all like, ‘Baby V, baby Lyn, baby Isha.’ We all want the baby to be named after us.”
Williams, 40, announced she would skip her second straight Grand Slam event, saying, “I am not where I need to be physically to compete.” Serena Williams has announced her withdrawal from next month’s Australian Open, extending her absence from the sport that she long ruled.
“I am not where I need to be physically to compete,” Williams said in the announcement on Wednesday as the Australian Open released the list of entered players for the 2022 tournament.
Williams, 40, a seven-time Australian Open singles champion, has not played on the WTA Tour since June 28, when she retired late in the first set of her first-round match at Wimbledon because of an injured right hamstring.
The injury was slow to heal, and it also kept her from competing in the 2021 U.S. Open. Williams did not mention the hamstring injury specifically in her statement on Wednesday, saying only that she decided to withdraw because of “the advice from my medical team.”
