Venus Williams and Alexei Popyrin among US Open wildcards as tournament waits on Serena Williams
- Venus Williams has received a US Open singles wild card and the tournament is keeping one on hold, perhaps in case her sister Serena wants to join her.
- Sloane Stephens, the 2017 US Open champion, was one of six other women to receive a wild card, and the US Tennis Association said the final one was still to be announced.
- That will almost certainly go to Serena Williams if she decides she wants to return to the tournament at 44.
