While younger sister Serena’s Wimbledon journey is already over, with the seven-time champ stunned in the first round by Harmony Tan, it seems that Venus’ own comeback is just kicking off. She partnered Jamie Murray for a 6-3, 6-7(3), 6-3 victory over Michael Venus and Alicja Rosolska on Court No. 1.
Q. Venus, I saw you taking it all in at the end there. What was it like to be back on a big court? Also, you mentioned it was last minute. Did you come here planning to play? We saw you on the practice court initially.
VENUS WILLIAMS: I had no plan to play. I saw the grass and I got excited (smiling)... I was at the French Open, it's a beautiful event, but my heart didn't beat the same way.
I had no plans. That's why I was asking [Jamie] last minute. He just had a baby, too, so I know there's a lot going on. Definitely I couldn't have guessed that I would be here right now, taking it at the last minute…
It was like, Oh, my God, wow. I just not only played a match but won a match. I'm never like that kind of player. I always expect to win. We wanted to win.
But when I sat there at the end, it was like, real. Yeah, I felt something in my heart.
