Williams sisters return to the courts in an exhibition match – Tennis News
Venus Williams is out from tennis world because of immune system disease that forced her to pull out of US Open Grand Slam but she is scheduled to make a thunderous comeback against her younger sister Serena Williams in Colombia. They will play an exhibition match on Wednesday November 23rd, 2011.
She was suffering from Sjogren's syndrome, which is the main reason for joint pain and fatigue. She has started eating vegetables to make sure that disease doesn’t trouble her much. She has been working hard in practice sessions to keep herself fit to play tennis at an age of 31 years.
Serena Williams hasn’t played tennis for such a long time as well. Since her loss to Samantha Stosur in US Open, she has been out of tennis circuit suffering from undisclosed medical reasons. It’s a comeback for both sisters.
Venus Williams was excited to start her tennis proceedings at courts against her sister and said “I did a lot of medical therapy and a serious evaluation of my diet to understand which foods help control the symptoms better and that's why I've completely changed my diet and filled it with a lot of vegetables. In the meantime, I've continued to keep myself fit with tennis and in the gym. I'm very confident in my progress."
Ranking of the elder William has dropped massively and she is out of top 100 at the moment but her comeback will definitely help her revive her ranking and make her rivals life difficult with every possible move she can make.
Venus Williams wants to qualify for the Olympics next year and win it to attain an Olympic Gold for her nation. She added that she wants to hit her best form as soon as possible to make sure that she doesn’t let go any opportunity to qualify for Olympics. She loves her racquet that gives her extra control and spin on the ball and she even stated that it looks like this one is specially custom made for my hands.
She wants to climb up to the top ranks in singles and doubles in next 12 months and prove her worth. Even though aging factor might be a factor that will stop the flow of her game but considering the fact that both sisters are so powerful naturally that they can overcome their fatigue issues with their prolific and eye-startling power show.
