Serena and Venus Williams to reunite at Wimbledon in women's doubles

Serena and Venus Williams will team up at Wimbledon after receiving a wildcard to compete in the women's doubles event.

The decorated pair have won six titles together at SW19 in the women's doubles, most recently in 2016.

Serena, 44, made her comeback at Queen's last week, winning her first match alongside Victoria Mboko nearly four years after her most recent professional match at the 2022 US Open.

Her Queen's campaign was then ended early after Mboko was forced to withdraw through injury.

The 23-time major singles champion, who is also competing alongside Karolina Muchova in Berlin this week, could yet feature in the women's singles draw at Wimbledon, with one final WTA wildcard still to be announced.

Venus, 45, has continued to compete on the WTA Tour, losing all seven of her singles matches this season.

However, the five-time Wimbledon singles champion did chalk up a doubles match victory alongside Katie Boulter at the Madrid Open in April.

As a team, the Williams sisters have won 14 major titles in women's doubles – completing a career Grand Slam – as well as three Olympic gold medals, in Sydney (2000), Beijing (2008) and London (2012).

The third grand slam of the year begins on June 29. with the Williams sisters now set to be among the star attractions.
