Venus Williams, 46, just snagged a wild card for the US Open singles draw—making her the oldest woman to do so since Renee Richards in 1981. And here’s the twist: the tournament is holding onto another women’s wild card spot, widely rumored to be reserved for Serena Williams, 44, who’s eyeing a potential Grand Slam return after missing Wimbledon due to injury. Their recent doubles outing in Cincinnati—first since 2022—hinted at a possible reunion on the court. On the men’s side, Gael Monfils (likely playing his final Grand Slam) and rising star Alexei Popyrin (who stunned Djokovic this year) also earned wild cards, with Stan Wawrinka possibly stepping in for the last men’s slot. The main draw kicks off August 30th—a blend of legends, comeback dreams, and fresh talent primed to rewrite history.
