In an exciting WTA announcement, the All England Club delivered one of the most exciting announcements on June 15, 2026, Serena Williams and Venus Williams will team up once again in women's doubles at the Wimbledon Grand Slam tournament this year.
Their partnership is one of the most successful and iconic in tennis history, defined by powerful serves, athletic baseline play, and unbreakable sibling chemistry. The legendary American sisters received a wildcard entry into the Ladies' Doubles draw, running from June 29 to July 12, 2026, marking a highly anticipated return to the grass-court where they have achieved so much together.
Serena (44) and Venus (46) have won six Wimbledon doubles titles together and hold a combined 14 Grand Slam doubles crowns. Their last joint Wimbledon doubles triumph came a decade ago in 2016. Now, with a combined age of 90, they return to the scene of some of their greatest triumphs.
While their ranking would not have automatically qualified them, the wildcard recognizes the legacy they bring to the tournament. Tennis fans can expect packed crowds, especially if the sisters progress deep into the draw.
Their matches will likely be featured on Center Court, potentially with the British Royals in attendance, providing a fitting stage for what many hope will be a memorable chapter in their legendary careers.
Stay tuned — the draw and order of play will be released in the coming days.
