Venus Williams, at 42, has announced she will play her first singles match in almost a year at the National Bank Open in Toronto, which begins on August 5.
Williams accepted a wildcard invitation into the main draw and will join her sister Serena at the event.
Venus Williams has not played a singles match since the Chicago Women’s Open last August, where she lost in the first round to Hsieh Su-Wei.
She made her debut in the event in 1995 as a 15-year-old wild-card entry, losing to Sabine Appelmans in the opening round.
