Tennis legend Venus Williams will be the star attraction at the Hong Kong Tennis Open at Victoria Park in October.
The last time Venus Williams played in Hong Kong was in 2011. The former world number one and winner seven singles Grand Slam titles, including five at Wimbledon, she has also won 13 Grand Slam titles in women’s doubles with sister Serena and two in mixed doubles to total a staggering 22 titles in major events. Among active players, Venus’ Grand Slam haul is second only to her sister’s, as is her 46 WTA singles titles. Williams has also won four Olympic Gold medals – one in singles and three in doubles.
“Venus is a tennis icon and one of the biggest names in the sport. Her grace and professionalism both on and off the court has inspired a generation of players and her explosive game thrills tennis fans worldwide. Venus really enjoys Hong Kong and is excited to return to Victoria Park Stadium, where she has had considerable success in the past,” said Chris Lai, Tournament Director and Hong Kong Tennis Association Chief Executive
