How Many More Years Will Venus Get Wildcards?

Venus Williams asked for and got wildcard entry into BNP Paribas Open and Miami Open despite not doing much on court to deserve it. In a “what have you done for me lately” sport as tennis, the former world no. 1 and Grand Slam queen hasn’t accomplished anything of note for years.

Her match record for the last five years is an abysmal 8-33 (including World Team Tennis). Here is a closer look at her struggling results…

2024 L Hibino (0-1)

2023 L Mineen Zheng Keys Svitolina Ostapenko Naef Zhu, W Kudermetova Giorgi Volynets (3-7)

2022 L van Uytvanck Pliskova Teichmann Marino (0-4)

2021 L Hsieh Jabeur Alexandrova Cirstea Schmiedlova Brady Diyas Errani Kvitova W Rus Flipkens Buzarnescu (3-9)

2020 L Juvan Schmiedlova Azarenka Muchova Yastremska Serena Pegula Lisicki Ahn Kenin Schmiedlova Gauff W Stephens Azarenka (2-12)

The 43 year old has won 49 singles titles and over $42m in prize money, including five Wimbledons and two US Open titles. Her last Grand Slam title came in 2008 at Wimbledon. Her last Grand Slam finals were in 2017 at AO (loss to Serena 46 46) and Wimbledon (loss to Muguruza 57 06).

    Just sentiment. And imagine the blowback to the headline ‘Tennis legend Venus Williams denied wildcards to home tournaments’.

    She didn’t look terrible against Hibino… in spurts she was competitive and even dominant, altho Hibino is no top 40 player herself. But her results are not warranting the help, agreed. The other thing is that you don’t see her grinding it out at WTA Challengers (not showing the effort to accumulate points), if she were you would feel better about the wildcards.

    Venus is so irrelevant now in tennis the media would not make a racism story about if Venus WC requests were rejected.

  • Scoop Malinowski · March 18, 2024 at 3:00 pm

    Cory, yes Venus is still competitive, but like Clijsters learned the hard way, she just can’t win anymore. And despite how hard she trains, she’s never going to get better. It’s over, she’s only taking WCs away from more deserving aspirants.

    Venus should have retired today.

    So he’s still at it? The jig is up, dude! Time to be put out to pasture with your bro. 🤮

    With the revelations of Big Mike, Marcon’s obvious male “wife”, Chuck Shumer’s male wife, and so many other inverted suspects, I am beginning to wonder about the Williams too.

  • Sam · March 25, 2024 at 9:36 pm

    Well, the case with the Williamses is probably the strongest of all those! 🤮 Just doing the math, no other family in history has had two kids with multiple Grand Slam titles in singles like the Williamses. For instance, even though Chris Evert’s siblings were all pretty accomplished, none of them could approach her achievements. And why aren’t Djokovic’s brothers winning Grand Slams too? It’s all so improbable as to be impossible.

    And in all their younger pictures, it’s so obvious the “Sistas” are in fact boys.

    So France’s leader is a homosexual? I didn’t know about Schumer either, but I’ll check out some photos of their “wives.” 😛

  • Sam · March 25, 2024 at 9:59 pm

    Okay, just looked at some photos of Chucky’s partner, and yes, looks just like a dude. 😬

    And here’s an excerpt from an article about Candace Owens, who’s very convincing in her assertions: 👍

    ————–

    “After looking into this, I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man,” Owens wrote in a Tuesday post on X, formerly Twitter. “Any journalist or publication that is trying to dismiss this plausibility is immediately identifiable as establishment. I have never seen anything like this in my life. The implications here are terrifying.”

    Owens spoke in depth about the longstanding conspiracy theory during Monday’s episode of her podcast, arguing that if Brigitte really wanted to debunk those claims, she could simply release photos from the first 30 years of her life.

    Sam, yes at this point I’d say you’re right and the Williams are suspects. But if they were born male, what is the big deal? The media establishment tries to make it seem like a good thing to invert genders.

  • Scoop Malinowski · March 26, 2024 at 9:36 am

    Sam, Candace Owens is the best. She is the new media now. Interesting how the fake news media is responding as if Macron and his man wife is a horrible thing which they are trying to hide. That tells it all about trannyism. It’s satanic evil and they know it. Otherwise they would be promoting Macron and his husband as a good thing.

  • Sam · March 29, 2024 at 11:49 pm

    Sam, yes at this point I’d say you’re right and the Williams are suspects.

    Scoop, well, the smoking gun is Serena’s “other men” comments, which he repeated three times in one day—twice on the court in New York in 2018 and then once again later that day in the presser. 🔫 There’s no other reasonable explanation for his bizarre statement.

    But if they were born male, what is the big deal?

    Are you saying that it’s strange the media don’t just say, “Hey, the Williamses transitioned, and that’s a good thing!”? I guess the big deal is that it was all done deceptively, way before that kind of thing was ever “cool.” Even the media are smart enough to know such a revelation would be a disaster. 🆘

    That tells it all about trannyism. It’s satanic evil and they know it. Otherwise they would be promoting Macron and his husband as a good thing.

    You’re right, Scoop—they don’t even believe their own lies! 🤮

    Pushing transgenderism insanity on young kids in schools and libraries is pure evil and everyone who approves and plans it should be sent to the gallows. I never heard of any Hebrew schools doing these drag queen readings.

  • Sam · April 4, 2024 at 5:55 pm

    Yes, it is pure evil, Scoop! Interesting about the Hebrew schools.
