Venus Williams can be an example on the tennis scene. Despite being 45 years old, Venus Williams still shows passion and desire to play on the tennis courts.
In an interview with the media, Venus Williams talked about her long career, and it seems that she herself is not sure what the recipe for her longevity is.
The famous tennis player believes that it is partly a matter of genetics, but also that her lifestyle and love for tennis are surely one of the reasons why she has managed to be part of this story for years.
I dont know, Williams says being asked what's the recipe for her longetivity, as quoted by Forbes.

Thanks mom, thanks dad. Thank God, good genetics. The ability to just still be in love with the game.I definitely dont think Ill be the last. You get so good at something, and honestly you get better over time and understand it more over time to be able to play to when age is only an advantage.
Return to the courts and the desire for success
45-year-old Venus Williams returned to the tennis courts after a 16-month break, defeating Peyton Stearns.
She performed in both singles and doubles at the US Open.
After her match, the American tennis player could not hide her emotions. Not playing for such a long time certainly carries certain doubts, but the famous tennis player was confident that she could achieve a positive result.
Venus emphasized that the most important thing for her is that she can still play on the tennis courts and compete with much younger colleagues.

Honestly, it was great, says on US Open experience.
It wasnt easy because I hadnt played in so long. Of course, my expectations for myself are so high, what Id like to achieve. Also not knowing how exactly youre going to play, because Ive been playing a lot, and theres only so much you can do without having played matches. Grateful to be able to be there, able to be healthy enough to play better in what had been a very long time.
