Venus TV Debuts, and We Get to Know a Legend Better
Venus Williams displays an unguarded quality in her new YouTube videos.
You’ve heard of Venus Williams, the player. How about Venus TV?
The American legend and seven-time Grand Slam singles champion debuted her new YouTube channel in early July; since then Williams has released a second episode, with plans to do another in a week.
It’s a particularly entertaining watch, we must say. Williams tends to play hard to get in press conferences, but on her YouTube channel she grants access as the conductor of a wonderful romp through her mind with an emphasis on her current career.
At 39, Williams is still holding down a ranking of 53 in the world, and she chronicles her first-round loss to Cori Gauff (without mentioning Gauff) in the second episode, entitled “Not the Triumph but the Fight.”
There are quotes, anecdotes and Williams is natural in tone and speaks warmly. You feel like you’re her friend or—even better—her little sister.
In the first episode, “Wilmington to Wimbledon,” Williams gives viewers an intro to her formative years, her family and her way of thinking.
“You can’t become a noodle,” says Williams in the episode. “Noodles get eaten.”
Later in the show Williams wraps it up with a message for the doubters who have been calling for her retirement for years. “If you earn your way into the draw, guess what? You have an option to play if you so choose. I have so chosen to play, so I shall choose to play as long as I like,” she jokes before her mic drop.
Venus is about as engaged and candid as I’ve seen her in these videos. This is not the jaded Venus of 7 trillion press conferences. This is a Venus that is playful with the camera, and confidently relaxed. Having taken control of the message by filming the video for her very own station, Williams no longer has to worry about her words being taken out of context by some over zealous reporter.
Perhaps this is why Williams has taken her camera presence to the next level (our opinion, see for yourself). Always a photogenic athlete and a charismatic person, Williams has found a medium from which she can effectively offer her unguarded essence (and a few boxes full of EleVen gear) to the world.
As a person, as a player and as a brand, Williams has always had a knack for inspiring. Here she is taking it to another level. Venus adds TV to her growing empire, and in the process we get to know her better.
That’s a win-win if there ever was one.

US Open Prize Money Hits Record $57 Million
The US Open keeps raising the bar when it comes to its prize money purse.
The USTA announced that total player prize money for 2019 US Open will surpass $57 million for the first time, maintaining the US Open as the richest purse in tennis history.
In addition to the prize money provided to the players by the US Open, the USTA has agreed to make a payment of $1,000,000 ($500,000 per tour) to support the ATP and WTA Tour player programs including pension.
The new record total represents an 8% increase over 2018 total compensation.
According to the tournament, main draw prize money for the first round of singles has increased by 47% over the last four years, and in that same time the second round has increased by 46.
Both the men’s and women’s singles champions will earn $3.85 million, and the men’s and women’s doubles champion teams will earn $740,000, both payouts the highest in US Open history. The US Open Qualifying Tournament, which this year will see a near 20% increase in total prize money, and a doubling of prize money over the past four years, will offer more than $3.5 million in prize money for the first time.
Round-by-round individual prize money for the US Open is as follows:

The Main Draw of the US Open begins on Monday, August 26, with qualifying beginning the week prior.
