Venus Williams, Caroline Wozniacki among U.S. Open wildcard entries

Venus Williams will be back in the U.S. Open at age 43, and Caroline Wozniacki will join her in the field for her return to Grand Slam tennis.

Both players were given wild cards into the tournament on Wednesday by the U.S. Tennis Association.

Williams was the U.S. Open champion in 2000 and 2001, two of her seven major singles titles. A year after younger sister Serena retired following the tournament, Venus Williams will be back in Flushing Meadows, where she reached the final in her debut in 1997.
