Williams sisters start US Open doubles against team with Maya Joint, who beat Serena at Wimbledon
Serena Williams and her sister Venus are set to face off against a team featuring Maya Joint in their opening match of the women's doubles at the U.S. Open. Joint, a 20-year-old from Australia, recently defeated Serena in Wimbledon this summer. Williams, 44, made her debut after a four-year absence and lost to Joint 6-3, 6-7 (6), 6-3, due to a knee injury that forced her withdrawal from a doubles match with Venus at Wimbledon.
The sisters have a strong history at the U.S. Open, having won the title together in 1999 and 2009, and boast a record of 27-7 in their nine appearances at the tournament. Their next match is scheduled to take place on Thursday.
