Serena and Venus Williams to play doubles together again, at Wimbledon

Serena and Venus Williams are set to reunite for doubles at Wimbledon after receiving a wild card invitation from the All England Club. This marks Serena’s return to professional tennis after nearly four years, while Venus continues to compete sporadically. The sisters have a storied history in doubles, having won 14 Grand Slam titles together, including six at Wimbledon. Their last doubles appearance was at the 2022 U.S. Open. Serena recently played doubles with Victoria Mboko at Queen’s Club, but they withdrew due to Mboko’s injury. Serena may also compete in singles, with one wild card spot still open. Other notable wild card recipients include Maja Chwalinska, Stan Wawrinka, and Grigor Dimitrov. The tournament will also feature a men’s doubles wild card for Alexander Bublik and Nick Kyrgios.
