Venus Williams has set a remarkable example in tennis, but it is not the only thing she is striving for. This WTA star has won 7 singles and 14 doubles Grand Slam titles, along with 4 Olympic gold medals. But, tennis is still her secondary obsession.

In a recent interview, as she delves into her career details, the tennis fraternity realizes that behind her success lies an unshakable spirit, which she might have garnered through the practice of her life’s first obsession. So, what is it?

Queen V shared an interesting detail about her life’s biggest obsession, and it’s not tennis. The former WTA number one, with Cultured Magazine‘s official IG account, shared the interview clip, where Williams highlighted how she views tennis as an artistic game.

She described how individual playstyles complement each other, turning players into artists. She also called herself an artist who sweats, candidly adding that when it came to her obsession, it wasn’t the sport she passionately plays—it was escape rooms.

“Definitely my obsession with escape rooms. Don’t ask me why, but I cannot live without them, and it’s my happy place,” Venus said.

Yes, that’s right! Queen V loves quests and puzzles, which the escape room environment offers, showcasing her intense admiration for intelligent gaming.

While shooting at the Met Museum, Venus Williams revealed to interviewer Titus Kaphar and expressed her love for fashion and the emerging artists she’s following.

Yet, hardly anyone expected to hear about her obsession with escape rooms. However, considering her track record of surprising fans, Williams’ followers might not have been so shocked.

Previously, in an interview with Essence Magazine about her second book Strive, and her lifestyle choices, Williams revealed her escape room obsession.

“My biggest hobby is escape rooms. When traveling, I’ll start the day at 6 a.m., and my only free time is to do an escape room at 11 p.m. It’s an interesting mental challenge,” she said.

Williams’ statement highlighted her attraction to mental challenges, something likely helps the player stay calm on the court during crucial matches.

According to Business Traveller, Williams mentioned that, besides art and traveling, escape rooms are her favorite. “I’m an escape-room junkie and just did a virtual one with my niece,” she added.

While many might feel overwhelmed by the idea of spending leisure time in an escape room, Venus Williams aces it like a queen. The hobby must be having a positive impact on her health and mental strength.

Speaking of health, back in 2011, Venus battled an autoimmune disease, and it was her indomitable spirit has helped her focus on her dreams and overcome obstacles.

This American player was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2011, a condition where the body’s immune system attacks its healthy tissues, causing fatigue and severe energy loss.

When she was finally diagnosed, she said, “It’s a huge relief because as an athlete, everything is physical for me—everything is about being fit and being in shape.”

Williams’ statement highlighted the intense struggle she faced with her health issues, yet she continued to play with full spirit.

In her book, Strive, Williams discussed this challenging time and vowed to inspire others to fight back without losing hope. Her resilience and thoughtful approach inspired many, offering them hope in the face of such heartbreaking adversity.

 

In an interview with the ABC News, Williams said, “I just spend my whole life just pushing myself and if you work hard enough, you’ll get what you want. Guess what? now that’s all out of the window. So I had to learn to overcome fear.” Her words echoed her determination to not let her health issues take over her dreams. Inspiring isn’t it?

Venus Williams has proven that she is strong no matter the circumstances. Despite battling a complicated disease, this WTA star’s mental strength remains unshaken as she embraces escape rooms to challenge her pace further. With every victory, she demonstrates that nothing is impossible when it is driven by true intention.

“She didn’t cry. She didn’t speak. But the way she looked at Taylor… said everything.” When Travis got down on one knee, the first person Taylor looked for wasn’t the camera — it was her mother. When Travis Kelce pulled out the ring, all eyes were on Taylor Swift. But behind the cameras, there was one person who didn’t move, didn’t blink — and whose silence spoke louder than anything else. Her face didn’t collapse, her lips didn’t tremble — but her eyes… they carried something unsaid. A quiet weight, a hidden question, the kind of truth only a mother can see. Was it pride? Relief? Or a trace of something more complicated — a moment too real to disguise with a smile? What exactly did Taylor’s mom witness… that made the entire room freeze?
