Venus Williams promotes initiatives to ensure the well-being of young tennis talent
Venus Williams recently advocated for safety measures for young players at the US Open Champions of Equality event.
Williams was joined by Billie Jean King to discuss a variety of topics, including pay parity, the future of tennis, and player welfare.
The American expressed support for the Women's Tennis Association's efforts to protect young female athletes from abuse.
"I think the WTA definitely takes measures, and they're taking even more measures every year," Venus WIlliams said. "Because the young women, they're so good so young. Very impressionable. They don't know anything about the world. Most of them have just played tennis."
Speaking from her own experience, Williams emphasized the necessity of implementing specific protective measures for players at such a young age.
"I know what that feels like, but I had protections and I was taught to stick to your values. Not everyone has that opportunity to know who they might be at that young age," she continued. "The WTA is definitely taking steps. I see it all over. I'm excited for that."
"Unfortunately abuse is something that happens silently sometimes," WIlliams said. "You don't always know who might be going through something. That is a sad part, but the WTA is taking, posting signs all over the place, getting other people involved."
Venus Williams was eliminated in the first round against Greet Minnen in straight sets at the 2023 US Open.
