Venus Williams will set a new record while attempting to wind the clock back at the Australian Open, having been given a wildcard for the tournament she first contested in 1998.
Williams returns to Melbourne Park some 28 years after her first appearance in the main draw.
The 45-year-old will become the oldest woman to compete in the main draw of the year-opening grand slam when she surpasses Kimiko Date, who was 44 at the 2015 Australian Open.
