Share this post

Serena Williams and Venus Williams ⁠are set to make their Cincinnati Open ‌doubles debut this month after being ‌awarded a wild ‌card on Monday, marking their ‌return to doubles action for ‌the first time since 2022.

The Williams sisters have ‌won 14 major doubles ⁠titles, ‌including six at Wimbledon, plus three Olympic gold medals.

They last played doubles together at the 2022 US Open, where they lost ⁠to Czechs  Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova.

Last month, the sisters had to withdraw from the doubles draw ‌at Wimbledon as Serena, 44, dealt with a knee injury.

The American's highly anticipated return to Grand Slam tennis after four years away was ended at Wimbledon in a first-round ‌loss to Australian youngster  Maya Joint in the ‌singles.

Venus, 46, has received a singles wild card for the August 11th to 23rd tournament in Cincinnati.
