Serena and Venus Williams Set to Reunite for Wimbledon 2026 Doubles

Williams Sisters to Compete Together Again

American tennis legends Serena and Venus Williams are gearing up to play together in the women's doubles event at Wimbledon 2026, having received a wildcard entry from the tournament organizers in London. The sisters have a remarkable history at Wimbledon, having clinched the women's doubles title six times and secured the gold medal at the London 2012 Olympics held at the All England Club. This marks their reunion after Serena, aged 44, made her competitive comeback in women's doubles at Queen's Club earlier this month following a four-year hiatus. Their last triumph at this prestigious grass-court Grand Slam was in 2016. Wimbledon officials announced several wildcard entries on June 16, with the tournament set to commence on Monday, June 29.

Reunion of the Williams Sisters

Neither Serena nor Venus is listed among the singles wildcard recipients, although one spot remains unfilled. Serena returned to the court last week at Queen's, four years after many speculated she had played her final match at the 2022 US Open. The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, who boasts seven Wimbledon titles, is set to continue her Grand Slam journey alongside Venus at the All England Club after competing in doubles with Karolina Muchova in Berlin this week. Meanwhile, 45-year-old Venus, a five-time Wimbledon singles champion, has faced challenges this year, losing all seven of her singles matches. However, she did achieve a victory in doubles at the Madrid Open in April, partnering with Britain's Katie Boulter.

Together, the Williams sisters have amassed 14 Grand Slam doubles titles, with Venus holding seven majors and Serena 23. They also celebrated their third Olympic gold medal in London in 2012, having previously topped the podium in Beijing in 2008 and Sydney in 2000. Emerging as prodigious talents in the 90s, the Williams sisters have left an indelible mark on the sport of tennis. They began dominating the most prestigious tournaments by showcasing their powerful playing styles and exceptional skills. Collectively, they have won 30 Grand Slam singles championships, including 12 titles at Wimbledon, and six Grand Slam women's doubles titles in London. Their upcoming reunion on such a grand stage comes nearly three decades after their initial foray into professional tennis.
