Venus Williams ‘excited’ to play in BB&T Atlanta Open
The BB&T Atlanta Open has historically been a men’s affair since its 2010 inception. Seven years later, it’s emphatically shattering the gender barrier with a global icon.
Venus Williams is returning to Atlanta for the first time since 2004. She’ll face Eugenie Bouchard, Canada’s No. 1 player, in an exhibition match July 23.
It will be the first women’s match in Atlanta Open history.
