The 42-year-old American player Venus Williams has not played a singles match since last August’s Cincinnati Masters, where she lost in the first round to Johanna Konta. Williams, who has been struggling with an autoimmune disease, will face qualifier Marie Bouzkova in Toronto. Williams is currently ranked No. 38 in the world. She was as high as No. 11 last year but has been hampered by injuries in recent years. This will be the first time the sisters have played together since 2016. Serena will join Venus in competing, and this should be an exciting game. Venus Williams has a 3-7 record in the Canadian city, with her last victory coming all the way back in 2001. Despite that, Williams remains one of the most popular players on the tour and will be looking to make a deep run in Toronto as she looks to add to her Grand Slam haul. The seven-time Grand Slam winner has given the strongest indication yet that she plans to return to competitive tennis in 2020, telling CNN Sport’s Don Riddell: “I don’t think my story is finished yet.” Despite her recent struggles at the event, Williams is still confident that she can turn things around and make a deep run this year. “I definitely feel like I can do well here,” she said. “I just need to get a few wins under my belt and get some confidence back.”
