TENNIS legend Venus Williams has been using A-list dating app Raya to look for love while she is in the UK.
The US pro, 43, has stayed in London since she suffered a nasty fall and screamed in agony before crashing out on Centre Court at Wimbledon against Ukrainian Elina Svitolina on Monday.
Venus, who has won five Wimbledon singles titles, revealed on her dating profile that she was “visiting London from Palm Beach Gardens”, which is where she is based in Florida.
She displayed several glossy photos of herself, including a snap dressed in her tennis whites and a picture with her Havanese dog Harry.
The sports ace has never married or had children and parted ways with her last boyfriend – publishing mogul Nicholas Hammond – in 2019.
Previously she had romances with golfer Hank Kuehne and Cuban model Elio Pis.

Speaking to Glamour magazine she said: “I’ve had a single life for a long time and I think it’s really easy to get stuck in a single life and sometimes – at least for me – harder to get out.
“That’s probably something I’m working on now and it makes you think about yourself and what you want and how to behave.
"It’s definitely a lot of self-thought that goes into it.”
