Michael Venus (tennis)


Michael Venus is a New Zealand professional tennis player. He reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 274 in July 2011, but now normally plays singles only in Davis Cup matches for New Zealand. He is far better-known as a leading doubles player, whose highest ranking in this discipline is No. 8, gained in August 2019 after winning in Halle. He won the final of the 2017 French Open, partnering with American Ryan Harrison, and followed that with a runner-up finish in the 2017 US Open mixed doubles, with Chan Hao-ching of Chinese Taipei as his partner. He and Harrison qualified for the year-ending Nitto ATP Finals, where they won all three of their round-robin matches to qualify top of their group, but lost in the semifinals to Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo.
In 2018 he made the men's doubles final at Wimbledon with Raven Klaasen, losing to Mike Bryan and Jack Sock, and was a semifinalist in the mixed doubles there as well, with Katarina Srebotnik. He and Klaasen qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals, but won only one round-robin match.

Early years

Venus's family moved to the United States, where he won the Boys’ 18 National Clay Courts in 2006. His idols were Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras. He vacillated between going to college or turning professional and trying the senior tour, but decided to go for the College Conference. Having represented the U.S. through college, he switched nationalities in June 2010 to the country of his birth, and began playing for the New Zealand Davis Cup team.

College years to professional career

Venus transferred to Louisiana State University from the University of Texas after his freshman year and sat out the 2006–2007 season, following NCAA guidelines. In his first year at LSU, Venus became the first LSU player to win the ITA Men’s All-American Championship at the national tournament in Tulsa, Oklahoma in January 2008. He is one of only two Louisianan college players to finish in the top ten of the Campbell's ITA College Tennis Rankings in both singles and doubles in the same year, which he accomplished in his final season in 2008–2009. He was a representative of the United States team in the BNP Paribas International University Challenge of Tennis in Poitiers, France in December 2009.

2007

Venus finished the season winning the USA F26 Futures in doubles, partnering with Danny Bryan, losing only in the final of Thailand F3 Futures thus peaking at 866 in singles on the ATP world tour.

2008

Despite playing the final of Baton Rouge Challenger with partner Ryan Harrison, due to his singles performance Venus closed the year at the 1752nd position on the South African Airways ATP rankings.

2009

In July Venus clinched the title of USA F17 Futures beating Vasek Pospisil in the final. He reached the doubles final of the USA F19 Futures in August teaming with Colt Gaston losing in two straight sets. At the end of the month Venus earned a wild card to the qualifying draw of the 2009 US Open in which he advanced to the second round overcoming Uruguay's Marcel Felder in two sets but failing to qualify by losing to Giovanni Lapentti of Ecuador. In October The Venus-Harrison pair won the USA F24 Futures against fellow Kudla-Sarmiento and in November playing with Gaston they lost in the championship match in the USA F27 Futures against the Armenian-Russian duo Martirosyan-Sitak. He reached his career year-end high of 587.

2010

Venus won another futures the USA F13 Futures tournament but lost in his first ever challenger series final in Qarshi against Blaž Kavčič in two tie-breaker sets. In the same year he won his first Davis Cup match representing New Zealand. He advanced to 328 at year-end.

2017

The standout year in Venus's career began when he teamed up with Ryan Harrison to play doubles together for the first time in several years. Not only did they win titles in Estoril and Paris, but they also qualified for the end of season Nitto ATP World Tour finals, where they lost in the semi-finals. At the end of the year Venus was ranked number 15 in the world, with Harrison one place below.
Venus's mixed doubles campaigns at Grand Slam events also improved through the year, losing in the first round in Melbourne, in the second in Paris, and in the third at Wimbledon, before going all the way to the final in New York.

2018

Venus began the new year in Brisbane, where he teamed up with Marcelo Demoliner to win the first round but lose the second. Back to his home event in Auckland, Venus was given a wild card into the singles, but was unfortunate enough to draw World number 20 Roberto Bautista-Agut in the first round, being beaten 6–2, 6–1. In the doubles, he and new partner Raven Klaasen won their first two matches before being beaten 7–6, 7–6 in their semi-final by Max Mirnyi and Philipp Oswald.
Seeded 8th in the Australian Open, Venus and Klaasen lost a titanic first set tie-break 14–16, and a more straightforward one in the second set, to go down 7–6, 7–6 to Scott Lipsky and David Marrero. Venus and Chan won their first mixed doubles match comfortably, but were well-beaten in the second round by eventual semi-finalists Marcelo Demoliner and María José Martínez Sánchez.
The first round of the Asia/Pacific Group I Davis Cup took place in Tianjin, China, at the start of February. Venus played the second singles rubber for New Zealand after Rubin Statham had won the first, but he lost to Zhang Ze after winning the first set. New Zealand lost the doubles, and then the first reverse singles, so the dead fifth rubber was not played. His next ATP tournament was in Rotterdam, where he and Klaasen lost in the first round.
They then went to Marseille, where they won the Open 13 Provence. It was special for Venus on two counts – he was winning the tournament for the second time, having been successful with Mate Pavić in 2016, and it was also the first time that two New Zealanders had contested an ATP World Tour doubles final on opposite sides of the net, the runners-up being Marcus Daniell and Dominic Inglot. This had previously happened only in one Challenger and several ITF Futures events. A week later they were in Dubai, where they lost in the second round.
Next stop on tour was the first Masters 1000 tournament for the year, in Indian Wells. Venus and Klaasen beat Colombians Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah in the first round, but were then well-beaten by eighth seeds Ivan Dodig and Rajeev Ram. Ram and Klaasen had combined to win the tournament the previous year, but Dodig and Ram went out in the next round to the eventual champions, John Isner and Jack Sock. Venus and Klaasen had immediate revenge over Dodig and Ram, beating them in the first round at Miami, before beating Isner and Donald Young in the second round. They lost a titanic quarter-final battle to the Bryan brothers, going down 8–10 in the match tie-break.
Venus and Klaasen started the European clay court season at the Monte-Carlo Masters. After an easy win in the first round, and a walkover in the second, they lost 7–6, 6–3 to Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini in the quarter-finals. Looking to defend the title he had won at Estoril the previous year, Venus and Klaasen were beaten in the first round. In Madrid they made it through to the quarter-finals, losing to Nikola Mektic and Alexander Peya, while in Rome they lost in the second round to Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares.
Moving on to Roland-Garros to defend his title in the French Open, Venus and Klaasen were seeded 10th, and disposed of French teams in the first two rounds, before meeting eighth seeds Mektic and Peya in the third round. The higher-ranked pair were again their nemesis, but the win was not without a struggle, as the final score of 7–6, 7–6 would indicate. Venus and Chan Hao-ching teamed up again for the mixed doubles, but were well-beaten in the first round by Matwe Middelkoop and Demi Schuurs.
Venus and Klaasen started their grass court season at 's-Hertogenbosch, where Venus had won the title two years earlier with Mate Pavić. Ironically it had been Klaasen who was on the losing end that day, and his then partner, Dominic Inglot, faced the pair in the final, this time alongside Croatian Franko Škugor. In a very tight match, it was the European pair who prevailed 7–6, 7–5. They then moved on to Halle where, as seeds, it was a surprise that they were beaten in the first round by Tim Puetz and Jan-Lennard Struff. Their last tournament before Wimbledon was at Eastbourne where, again slightly surprisingly, they lost in the second round to Ken and Neal Skupski.
Wimbledon would be another milestone in Venus's career, as he came so close to winning his second major title, and was only one step further back in pursuit of a mixed doubles crown as well. In the men's doubles, Venus and Klaasen had straightforward wins in the first two rounds, followed by marathon five set encounters in the next two over Leonardo Mayer and Joao Sousa and then Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares, the latter a nice revenge for the loss in Rome. The semi-final win over Frederik Nielsen and Joe Salisbury took four sets, but the final against Mike Bryan and Jack Sock was a classic encounter: another five set match in which all four players demonstrated moments of absolute magic, but it was the American pair who eventually prevailed, the final score being 6–3, 6–7, 6–3, 5–7, 7–5.
Venus had a new partner in Katarina Srebotnik for the mixed doubles. Seeded ninth, they had a bye in the first round, then took three sets to beat Andrei Vasilevski and Anastasia Rodionova, and three more to beat the fifth seeds Nikola Mektic and Venus's former doubles partner Chan Hao-ching in a gripping encounter. In the quarter-finals they had an easy finish over Ivan Dodig and Chan's sister Latisha after splitting the first two sets, but Srebotnik losing her serve in both sets spelt the end of their run when they reached the semi-final, going down 6–4, 6–4, to Nicole Melichar and Alexander Peya.
After a short break, Venus and Klaasen headed to Washington DC, where they went down in the semi-finals of the Citi Open to Murray and Soares in straight sets, 7–5, 7–6. From there they went to the Rogers Cup in Toronto, where they beat Artem Sitak and Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first round, before defeating the seeded pairs of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo, their Wimbledon conquerors Mike Bryan and Jack Sock, and finally the top seeds Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic to reach the final against second seeds Henri Kontinen and John Peers. They lost the first set when Klaasen lost both his service games, but saved three match points in the second set tie-break before eventually succumbing 10–6 in the match tie-break. They followed that up with the next Masters 1000 event, in Cincinnati, where they lost in the second round to Kubot and Melo.
In the US Open Venus played both men's and mixed doubles, losing in the second round in both. In the men's event he and Klaasen were seeded eighth, but lost to Maximo Gonzalez and Nicolás Jarry in straight sets after beating singles specialists Lukas Lacko and John Millman. In the mixed doubles he again played with Srebotnik, and they were the seventh seeds. They defeated former Grand Slam champions Laura Siegemund and Rohan Bopanna in the first round before falling to Raluca Olaru and Franko Skugor in the second, beaten 16–14 in a monumental match tie-break which lasted 22 minutes.
From there Venus travelled to Korea, where he joined the New Zealand team in their Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Group I relegation playoff tie against the hosts. Playing only singles, Venus lost to Lee Duck-hee and Hong Seong-chan. Losing the tie 2–3, New Zealand returned to the Asia/Oceania Group II for the first time in five years.
Next stop on the tournament circuit was the Japan Open in Tokyo, where Venus and Klaasen went all the way to the final, where they were beaten by Ben McLachlan and Jan-Lennard Struff. They got their revenge on that pair just days later, when beating them in the second round of the Shanghai Masters, before losing yet another close match with Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. Venus then raced back to London to be with his fiancée, Sally Trafford, for the birth of their first child on October 14.
A couple of weeks later it was time for the Paris Masters, where they lost in the quarter-finals to Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau. Having qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals, they disappointingly opened their round-robin with a loss in a match tie-break against Murray and Soares, before beating Mektic and a still-recovering Peya in two tie-break sets, but lost the final round-robin match to Cabal and Farah in straight sets.

2019

Venus and Klaasen started the year in Auckland at the ASB Classic, where they had revenge for their loss in Miami to the Bryan brothers by beating them comfortably in the semi-final, before once again finding Ben McLachlan and Jan-Lennard Struff too strong in a final, being beaten 6–3, 6–4.
Seeded sixth, Venus and Klaasen lost the first set in their first round match at the Australian Open, but took the next two to beat Bradley Klahn and Mikhail Kukushkin. They then had straight sets wins over Marcus Daniell and Wesley Koolhof in the second round, and Marcelo Demoliner and Frederik Nielsen in the third, before surprisingly being beaten in the quarter-finals by Leonardo Mayer and João Sousa, 6–4, 7–6. Venus had another new partner in the mixed doubles, rising American star Danielle Collins, but they were beaten in the first round by Chan Hao-ching and Jean-Julien Rojer.
After consecutive first-round losses in Rotterdam, Marseille and Dubai, Venus and Klaasen turned the corner at the first ATP Masters 1000 event of the year, in Indian Wells. Seeded seventh, they gained revenge over McLachlan and Struff when beating them in the second round, before losing in a match tie-break in the quarter-finals to third seeds Oliver Marach and Mate Pavić. They had saved two match points in the second set at 4–5, 30-40, but were eventually beaten 6–4, 6–7, 10–5.
Another first round loss followed when they went to Miami, this time to Matwe Middelkoop and Diego Schwartzman, before disaster struck when Venus took in an extra tournament for clay court practice before the next Masters 1000 tournament in Monte Carlo. He teamed up with Tim Pütz in Marrakech, but they had to retire from their first round match when Venus rolled his left ankle. What was initially thought to be a sprain at worst turned out to involve enough damage to the ankle ligaments to put his whole European clay court campaign in jeopardy, but he recovered so well that he was fit enough to return for the Italian Open a month later. He and Klaasen went all the way to the final, where they were beaten by Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah.
The French Open was a very disappointing tournament for Venus, beaten in the first round of both the men's doubles and mixed doubles, the latter with a new partner in Galina Voskoboeva. From there it was on to grass for the first time this year, in 's-Hertogenbosch, where Venus and Klaasen lost to Marcus Daniell and Wesley Koolhof in the second round. They followed that up with their first title of the year, in Halle, beating Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo in the final for a perfect lead-up to Wimbledon.
The home of grass court tennis proved almost as good to them as it had a year earlier, this time getting as far as the semi-finals. Seeded third, they had three straight sets victories to start, before a marathon five set win over Henri Kontinen and John Peers in their quarter-final. The semi-final saw them come up against Cabal and Farah yet again, the Colombians prevailing in four sets. They would go on to win the title and become joint World Number One in the doubles rankings. Venus teamed up again with Katarina Srebotnik for the mixed doubles, where they were seeded 10th and received a bye to the second round, where they lost a really tight match to the French Open semi-finalists Nadiia Kichenok and Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi.
The first stop in preparing for the US Open was in Washington, where Venus and Klaasen took out their second ATP500 title for the year, beating Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecău in the final. Venus said afterwards that the decider to win the title was possibly the best match tie-break they had ever played.
At the US Open, Venus again teamed with Klaasen as number 3 seed in the men's doubles, and with Chan Hao-ching as number 1 seed in the mixed doubles, the first time ever that a New Zealand player had been top seed in a Grand Slam event. In the men's doubles, Venus and Klaasen had an easy first round win against Adrian Mannarino and Gilles Simon, the latter being badly hampered by an injury which he had picked up in his previous singles match. In the second round, though, they were beaten in a major upset by Miomir Kecmanović and Casper Ruud, in a match where their percentage of first serves in play was way below their opponents' level.
In contrast to the men's doubles, Venus and Chan progressed majestically through their first four matches without dropping a set, beating Latisha Chan and Ivan Dodig, 7–6, 7–5, in the semi-final. In the final they came up against Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jamie Murray who, incredibly, were not seeded, despite winning the previous year. The major difference between the pairs was that Chan could hold serve only once in the match, and the defending champions eventually won comfortably, 6–2, 6–3, in 59 minutes. It was Murray's third title in a row, having partnered Martina Hingis to beat Chan and Venus in 2017.
A week later Venus was in Jakarta for the Davis Cup tie against Indonesia, where he and Marcus Daniell had a very easy win in the doubles rubber. Venus then headed to China, where he and Klaasen lost in the first round in Beijing to the eventual champions, Ivan Dodig and Filip Polášek. They lost in the quarter-finals of the Shanghai Masters to Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski, and then found Dodig and Polášek too strong once again, this time in Basel.
The last Masters tournament of the year is in Paris, where Venus and Klaasen were upset in the first round by Marcus Daniell and Philipp Oswald. They moved on to the ATP World Tour Finals in London, where they were seeded fifth. They won their first two round-robin matches before falling to Dodig and Polášek for a third successive time. They had already guaranteed themselves a semi-final position, though, where they beat the top seeds Cabal and Farah to gain revenge for their Wimbledon defeat. They had to save a match point at 8–9 in the second set tie-break, but won the first five points in the match tie-break on the way to a 6–7, 7–6, 10–6 victory. That put them up against the seventh seeds Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut in the final. Just one service break was required in each set, with both teams saving two deciding points before the French pair won 6–3, 6–4.
The bombshell announcement from Venus that the pair were to split, and that his new partner would be Australian John Peers, came the same day.

2020

Top seeds in their first appearance together, Venus and Peers were surprisingly beaten in two tie-break sets by Artem Sitak and Divij Sharan in the first round of the ASB Classic. They were seventh seeds in the Australian Open, losing in the third round to Marcelo Arevalo and Jonny O'Mara. Seeded fourth in the mixed doubles, Venus and Chan Hao-ching went out in the second round to Łukasz Kubot and Iga Świątek.
Venus and Peers then lost in the first round in Rotterdam before taking their first title as a pair, winning in Dubai over Klaasen and Oliver Marach. They did not drop a set in the entire tournament. This was Venus's last match before international tennis was suspended due to the Covid-19 coronavirus.
