Williams sisters to make doubles return at Cincinnati Open after being handed wild card

The Williams sisters have ‌won 14 major doubles ⁠titles, ‌including six at Wimbledon, plus three ​Olympic gold medals.

They last played doubles together ​at the 2022 US Open, where they lost ⁠to Czechs ​Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova.

Last month, the sisters had to withdraw from the doubles draw ‌at Wimbledon as Serena, 44, dealt with a knee injury.

The American's highly anticipated return to Grand Slam tennis after four years away was ended at Wimbledon in a first-round ‌loss to Australian youngster ​Maya Joint in the ‌singles.

Venus, 46, has received a singles wild card for the August 11th to 23rd tournament in Cincinnati.
