In 2021, Venus clarified the situation after other followers were interested in the relationship between Venus and Reilly Opelka. “Are you and Reilly dating?” the follower asked. “No @ReillyOpelka shot me down,” she responded.

Venus is most attached to Opelka after Serena

Venus recently addressed a series of fan questions on Instagram live, and she revealed an intriguing curiosity. A fan asked the tennis player who she would have dinner with, and Venus picked three men’s and women’s Tour players with whom she has a fantastic relationship.

Here are her words: “I choose Serena Williams, Reilly Opelka and Grigor Dimitrov. I’m sorry, I can only choose these and they are the people I am most attached to on the Tour.” After all, Opelka and Venus are neighbors.

“Venus will go down as the second-greatest tennis player of all time,” Opelka told the Red Bull website. “Serena is first by a mile. You have to put her up there with [Michael] Jordan and LeBron [James] or [Cristiano] Ronaldo.

I practice with both of them; they live just up the street from me. They hit the ball as good as anyone. Serena and Venus played in the toughest era of women’s tennis and changed the game. But they still love tennis and winning tennis matches.

There’s no other reason for Serena to play. I know Venus still loves it, too. Serena has so many records; she’s already known as one of the greatest athletes ever. I think that buzz of winning has to be the only reason she’s still playing,” said Opelka.
