Amazing for Venus Williams to get a MD wildcard in singles at the US Open, at the tender age of 45

 Amazing as in ...? Do former champions automatically get one if they ask? What's to stop Navratilova or Evert getting one if they asked?

 Bianca Andreescu didn't get one despite being a much more recent champion than Venus.

Golly gosh, looking at the ststs !  ( though just that clip makes it rather more understandable ).

48 points to 3, with 2 of her 3 points being DFs by her opponent and somehow won 1 point on return.

On serve, 20 DFs in 24 serves and lost her other 4 points on serve.
