Serena and Venus Williams given Wimbledon doubles wildcard

sportsJun 16, 202638358

Serena Williams, 44, and Venus Williams, 45, received a wild card into the Wimbledon women's doubles draw and will team up at The Championships. The sisters have won six Wimbledon doubles titles together and will enter this year’s draw via the wild card rather than by ranking. Their reunion brings a high-profile storyline to Wimbledon, spotlighting the Williamses’ longevity and giving Venus a farewell-stage moment while providing Serena a lower-pressure return to grass-court Grand Slam competition.

First big batch of Wimbledon wild cards released: Venus and Serena get a wild card into women’s doubles together, but neither has a singles wild card so far (and there’s only one women’s spot left). Chwalinska got one for women’s singles; six others to low-ranked Brits.

Go Venus and Serena! I love watching them play doubles. If Serena's comeback only consists of doubles matches at Opens and maybe singles in smaller WTA tournaments, I'm watching it all. Let's go, ladies!

So the rumor is Venus will retire again and this is why Serena came out of retirement. Either way we get to see them back together again. 🎾
