Venus Williams sounds more and more definitive about trying to become the oldest Olympic singles tennis player in the modern era.
“I have no plans of stopping anytime soon,” the 37-year-old Williams said, according to an Entrepreneur magazine article published this week. “It seems somehow that 2020 Tokyo is on the horizon. Isn’t that wild? I’m trying to stick around for that.”
If anything is to stop her from qualifying for Tokyo in 2 1/2 years, it’s the depth of American women’s tennis.
A nation can send no more than four players per event to the Olympics.
