Venus Williams will make a long-awaited singles comeback at the Canadian Open next month.
The seven-time grand slam champion has not played a singles match since she lost to Hsieh Su-Wei in the first round at the Chicago Women’s Open last August.
But she returned from a leg injury to partner Jamie Murray in the mixed doubles at Wimbledon earlier this month, reaching the second round.
The 42-year-old will be back in singles action in Toronto, where the Canadian Open begins on August 8.
Williams’ sister, Serena, will also play in the tournament three weeks before the US Open gets under way.
After being handed a wild card, Venus will join the likes of world number one Iga Swiatek in a strong field.
The American made her debut in the hard-court event as a 15-year-old back in 1995, losing to Sabine Appelmans in the first round.
