It is safe to say that Venus Williams has somewhat evolved from her 100% focus and dedication towards professional tennis, and has rather shifted her focus more towards things that bring out her passion in areas unexplored.
The 7-time Grand Slam champion who has a knack for fashion and proudly presents herself as a trendsetter on-court is also the founder and owner of her fashion line EleVen.
Despite having achieved everything an athlete could probably dream of when it comes to romantic relationships Williams somehow lacks behind and the moment her fans start hoping for something meaningful to happen in her life, their dreams come crashing down.
In connection to her interest in fashion, Venus was recently spotted at The European Fine Art Fair (TEFAF), which came as a surprise due to the nature of such an interest of hers not well known amongst her fans.
At the fair, the American’s photos with artist Tim Van Laere surfaced online, and later, Reilly Opelka also uploaded an appreciation post describing both the figures as his mentors.
The tennis players who were spotted at the event, apparently with an interest in art, in the appreciation post made by Reilly made fans curious on knowing more about his stance on the dating rumors that have surfaced between him and Venus recently.
In the appreciation post made by Opelka for Venus, he called out the American as her mentor and captioned the post saying “My mentors. Art x tennis club.”
While fans were less than enthusiastic about the idea of 42-year-old Venus dating a 25-year-old, Opelka eventually stomped upon any dating speculations between the two and put to rest any questions arising from the same.
Venus Williams trolled herself with a cheeky response to dating rumors with Reilly Opelka
Venus Williams is one of the few athletes who loves engaging herself with her fans and the global tennis community to connect with them and make their presence and support for the star feel validated.

In a series of Q&A Venus Williams engaged herself earlier, she went through numerous queries fans posed her with, and one of them asked the legend “Are you and Reilly dating?” to which Venus amusingly responded by saying “No @ReillyOpelka shot me down”.
Regardless of the witty moments fans find themselves in when interacting with Venus, the WTA star is currently undergoing physical therapy for a hamstring injury she suffered earlier this year and is most likely to uproar excitement in her fans once she makes a comeback later in the 2023 season.
