Venus and Serena Williams, the American tennis icons, will compete together in doubles at the upcoming US Open. This marks their first Grand Slam appearance as a pairing since 2022, when they played together at the US Open. The US Tennis Association (USTA) granted both sisters wildcard entries for the tournament. Serena Williams last played in a Grand Slam event at the Queen's Club in June, marking her return to tennis after a period away from the sport.
She sustained a knee injury during her match at Queen's, which forced her to withdraw from the women's doubles event alongside Venus. Despite her absence, Venus Williams has maintained an active presence on the WTA Tour, participating in singles and doubles events sporadically over the past few years. The sisters reunited to compete at the Cincinnati Open in August but were defeated by Marta Kostyuk and Peyton Stearns in three sets.
Serena Williams recently participated in the mixed doubles competition at the US Open alongside Carlos Alcaraz, securing a win in their opening match but ultimately losing in the quarterfinals.
