Williams sisters to play doubles together at Wimbledon

It comes after 44-year-old Serena recently returned to competition after nearly four years away from professional tennis.

Venus, who has still been competing sporadically, turns 46 on Wednesday.

The Williams sisters have won 14 grand slam titles together in doubles, including six at Wimbledon - the first of them in 2000 and the last in 2016.

Serena won her first doubles match with partner Victoria Mboko at Queen's Club in London last week and was slated to play doubles with Karolina Muchova at the Berlin Open later Tuesday.

The Williams sisters last played doubles together at the 2022 US Open - their first match together in more than four years - and lost their opening match.

Last week, Serena and Mboko won their opening match at Queen's Club but then had to withdraw after Mboko injured her knee in a singles encounter.

Serena's last match at Wimbledon was in 2022 when she also needed a wildcard and lost ⁠to Harmony Tan in the first ‌round.
