Venus Williams has officially stepped into the media role at this year’s Roland Garros and the first impressions are nothing short of dazzling. Making her debut as a commentator on the very stage where she played her first Grand Slam as a 16-year-old, Venus is bringing the same grace, intelligence, and charisma that defined her decades-long tennis career.
Returning to Paris, the site of her first international trip, Venus is now starting a new challenge, this time behind the mic. The first impression was her elegant appearance and radiant smile. Venus looked very sophisticated in a black halter-top dress with distinctive sleeves. Her hair was styled into a wedding-style bun with a side part and soft waves framing her face.
But it’s not just her appearance that’s impressing everyone. Fans are praising her commentary for being thoughtful, engaging, and refreshingly authentic. One viewer gushed, “Venus is really good at this actually. Please keep her around.” Another wrote, “If Venus decides to dabble in commentating at the majors—especially Wimbledon and the US Open—it’s a wrap! She has the elite, Hall of Fame pedigree, natural humor, stories… I’m there!”
The YouTube comments section really lit up with enthusiasm:
“Williams is great at this. Hope we see a lot of her.”
“There is no end to the talent of Venus Williams—one of the greatest tennis players of all time—and also an exciting, insightful, and articulate commentator.”
“Venus has a great vibe. She speaks really well and is very interesting to listen to. Bravo.”
The tennis world is looking forward to Venus offering viewers a deeper, more personal perspective from someone who has truly lived the sport at its highest level.
