Venus stands at 6’1” (185 cm) and has extraordinarily long arms—two features that gave her a significant advantage in her tennis career, particularly benefitting her serve. Her height also allowed her to reach difficult returns while positioned at the net.

The retired player was ranked as the world No. 1 in women's singles by the WTA for 11 weeks. She has earned seven Grand Slam singles titles and 14 Grand Slam doubles titles, all won alongside her sister, Serena.
