Venus Williams longevity in tennis is unrivalled 💪
Venus is a five time Wimbledon singles champion and an all-round legend of the game.In 2011, she was diagnosed with Sjogren’s Syndrome, which causes joint pain and fatigue. It is an autoimmune disease that threatened her career.: “Living with an autoimmune disease, things can get a little tricky and you can be on loads of medicine, and that’s not something that I want to do.
Venus appears to be unwilling to give up professional sport just yet and rightly rewarded with a wildcard for Wimbledon. Her message on Instagram in the lead up to Wimbledon was not the message of someone with retirement on her mind. She wrote: “The best news is I walked off the court yesterday not hurt and not even sore after a long match and a string of really challenging injuries which means I have a chance to build on yesterday’s performance in my next events.
