The Sporting News reports that the iconic Williams sisters, Serena and Venus, are reuniting on the doubles court at Wimbledon 2026. The duo, ages 46 and 44 respectively, will play together at the All England Club for the first time in four years, having previously claimed six Wimbledon doubles titles as a pair. While Venus has continued competing on the WTA tour, Serena has only recently returned to action, playing doubles at the HSBC Championship and Berlin Open, and she has also competed in singles this year but suffered a first-round exit. Venus, meanwhile, will participate in doubles.
Their next doubles match at Wimbledon is set to kick off their campaign against the South American pair Camila Osorio and Solana Sierra. The match is scheduled for Saturday, July 4, with the exact order of play to be determined. The article lists the potential rounds and results as TBD, noting that the first-round opponent is Osorio/Sierra.
There was concern over Serena’s availability after she reportedly tweaked her right knee at the end of a previous singles match against Maya Joint, which cast doubt on her ability to compete in doubles. Her agent indicated she left the venue unaided and was doing everything possible to be ready for the doubles match, with Wimbledon management allowing a window until Saturday for recovery.
