Mubadala Citi DC Open: Seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams received a wild card entry into the main draw at the 2026 Australian Open.

It will be her first appearance at Melbourne Park since 2021 and the first time she will have competed outside the United States since 2023.

Of her seven Grand Slam singles titles, none have come in Melbourne. Venus reached the final twice, in 2003 and 2017, and both times her sister and 23-time Grand Slam champion, Serena Williams, emerged victorious.
