The All England Club announced on Tuesday that Serena and Venus Williams received a wildcard entry for the women's doubles draw at Wimbledon 2026.
The announcement marks the sisters' first competitive pairing since the 2022 US Open.
Recounting the Williams Sisters' Road to Wimbledon 2026
Serena, now 44, returned to professional tennis after a four-year hiatus earlier this year. She partnered with Canadian teen Victoria Mboko at the Queen's Club championships, but withdrew early after Mboko suffered a match-ending injury.
Venus, who turns 46 this week, still plays selective events. The 11-time Wimbledon winner earned a wild cared entry at the Australian Open earlier this year and has competed on the WTA 2026 tour.
They won 14 Grand Slam doubles titles between them from 2000 to 2016 — with six coming from Wimbledon alone. However, the pair has never lost a WTA major doubles final.
Beyond doubles, questions remain about how the Williams sisters might feature in Wimbledon's singles draw. Organizers left one women's wild-card spot open. Serena hasn't ruled out a singles entry, though she plans to test her form in doubles first.
For now, the pairing marks a return to the grass courts where the Williams sisters built much of their doubles resume.
