Venus Williams emerges at Miami Open for practice session with Ons Jabeur

And if you’re Venus Williams, why not hit up the Miami Open and train with a good friend?

On Wednesday, the seven-time singles Slam champ emerged on the grounds outside of Hard Rock Stadium for a practice session with Ons Jabeur. The two aren’t in the doubles draw for the WTA 1000 event, though Williams is a longtime resident in the South Florida area.

Here’s a look at the scene from Court 13:
