Full audio from Venus Williams regarding the wild card.

EXCLUSIVE: Venus Williams speaking in Denmark confirms that the story that came out last week that she had accepted a wild card to play singles at Indian Wells is "not true". She is overseas and will not be playing.

@MiMiHotLips

Did she enter the tournament (which she wd have had to play Qualifying rounds) surely, or was she offered a wildcard?
