The Williams sisters are two of the greatest players in the history of tennis and forged a fierce rivalry, with Serena leading Venus 19-12 in the head-to-head. The two are among the greatest doubles pairs in the sport, winning 14 Grand Slams and three Olympic golds together — among other titles.

After making sporadic appearances this year, Venus will start the 2023 season at the ASB Classic in Auckland, having received a wildcard for the WTA 250 competition. She will join the likes of Coco Gauff, Sloane Stephens, Leylah Fernandez and Sofia Kenin in the main draw.

Asked if she had a favorite match at the ASB Classic, the American mentioned the 2015 edition in reply, the year she won the tournament by defeating Caroline Wozniacki 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the final. She also reached the final in Auckland in 2014, where she lost 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 to Ana Ivanovic.
