Venus Williams makes her way to Wimbledon this year, expresses excitement

American professional tennis player Venus Williams, who had no plans of playing at Wimbledon this year, got persuaded by the atmosphere around the grass court grand slam. 

The 42-year-old has not played in competitively for a year but this time has kicked in to perform at the mixed doubles in a wild card entry with Jamie Murray. 

This popular pairing was taken in a good light by fans around cheering in for them. 

In a recent announcement Venus said, "I had no plan to play. I saw the grass and I got excited." 

"I was at the French Open, it's a beautiful event, but my heart didn't beat the same way. Not that I could play but ... I had no plans. That's why I was asking (Murray) last minute."

She added, "It's one of the only ones I haven't won, so I usually put a little more priority here." 

Venus signed off, "It was definitely super last minute. Just inspired by Serena. Like I said, it was amazing. I just was so happy to have so much help today." 

Throughout her career, Venus won women's single title five times and the doubles title six times.
