Nothing more exciting than watching Venus be SO happy and joyful out on the tennis court.
Yes she does put out those "so happy and grateful to be here now" vibes each time she takes to the court now.
Which got me thinking yesterday...
What's the deal, why is she sticking around?
I've come up with my own theory.
It has nothing to do with winning any more matches. She knows that and we all know that.
Did you know that Venus was the third highest-paid female athlete of 2021, according to Forbes?
She had:
On-The-Field Earnings: $0.3 million
Off-The-Field Earnings: $11 million
And she was the sixth highest-paid female athlete of 2022, according to Forbes.
She had:
On-The-Field Earnings: $0.1 million
Off-The-Field Earnings: $12 million
You read that right. Not just the 3rd and 6th highest paid tennis player, but all female athletes!
If she stops playing her endorsement earnings would take a big hit.
Another factor I believe is her aim to set the record for oldest playing pro tennis player.
We have Rosewall and McEnroe at 46 when they each retired.
And we have K. Date at 46 when she retired.
Venus is now 43, so be prepared to see her stick around for at least another three or four years.
