A few days ago, Venus Williams celebrated the 20th anniversary of her first ascent to the top of the WTA charts, and it is unclear whether and when the 41-year-old will ever get back into the tennis circuit. As long as Venus is still an active player, she is the second most successful after sister Serena (23) with seven Grand Slam titles. There is also a small question mark behind their status as an active athlete.
On the other hand, the two Williams sisters have long since emancipated themselves from tennis, Venus and Serena are particularly fond of fashion. Both have competed in the past with their own collections, but now Venus has been persuaded to become an ambassador for a legendary brand: Lacoste.
The French company, whose founder René Lacoste was one of the "Four Musketeers" (alongside Jean Borotra, Jacques Brugnon and Henri Cochet) who thrived in tennis in the 1920s and 1930s, is currently also supported by the two leading ATP World ranking represented: by Daniil Medvedev and Novak Djokovic. Medvedev has replaced Djokovic as number one in the world since Monday.
