Researchers Confirm Active Tectonics Shaping Venus Surface

Venus Williams, the celebrated American tennis star, is making a comeback to professional tennis after a 16-month hiatus due to a serious health scare. At 45, she aims to enjoy the moment and focus on playing well as she prepares to compete at the DC Open, her first hardcourt tournament before the US Open, where she will face 23-year-old Peyton Stearns. Williams, a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion and 2000 Olympic singles gold medalist, has not played a full tour since 2019 but remains confident in her ability to compete due to her powerful playing style. Recently, she demonstrated strong form at the Washington Open, drawing enthusiastic crowds and continuing to pursue her 50th singles title. Her return underscores both her resilience and ongoing presence in American tennis as she balances competitive goals with personal health priorities. These developments occur amid broader interest in Venus both as a sports icon and an enduring figure within the tennis community.
