Wyclef Jean has recorded a track for Venue Williams that will serve as theme music for the tennis player throughout her appearance at the U.S Open tennis tournament in Queens, New York.

The track, entitled ‘Venus (I’m Ready)’ was recorded as a tribute to Williams who recently has success at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, winning a gold medal with her sister Serena in the women’s doubles

After meeting at a taping of the show ‘Iconoclasts’, the pair hit it off and formed a relationship.

"I was so happy to meet Wyclef and work with him on our 'Iconoclasts' episode but not even in my wildest imagination, did I expect that such a beautiful song would be one of the outcomes from meeting Wyclef”, said Williams to AllHipHop.com

"He is an amazing human being and it is truly an honor for me to be recognized in such a wonderful way by such a gifted musician and exceptional person."

The U.S. Open begins on August 25, 2008.
