Williams Sisters Reunite in US Open Doubles
Serena and Venus Williams have received a wild card to play women's doubles together for the first time since the 2022 US Open.
Serena and Venus Williams are reuniting in women's doubles at the US Open. Per ESPN, the sisters have received a wild card to compete together for the first time since the 2022 US Open, bringing renewed attention to one of tennis's most celebrated partnerships.
They open against the 14th seeds, Chan Hao-ching and Maya Joint, ESPN reports. The seeded pair start as favourites to come through the first round, making it a stern early test for the returning duo and a quick measure of whether the sisters still have their rhythm as a team after years apart.
The invitation is about more than a single tournament. It speaks to the enduring pull of Serena and Venus as a doubles unit, and to the appetite for seeing them share a court again. Their partnership helped shape the modern women's doubles game, and their return injects fresh interest into the draw at Flushing Meadows.
Whether this marks the start of a sustained return to doubles together is unclear. What is certain is that their reappearance has already drawn attention well beyond the tennis world, and their opening match will offer the first real read on where this pairing stands now.
