The prospect of Serena and Venus Williams competing together in the Wimbledon doubles tournament appears more likely after organizers included them in Saturday’s schedule. The pair, who have secured the Wimbledon doubles title six times, are looking to play together at a Grand Slam for the first time since 2022.
Serena Williams, 44, experienced a knee injury during her singles match on Tuesday against Maya Joint. While she was defeated in three sets, the swelling in her knee raised concerns about her availability. Her agent, Jill Smoller, confirmed that she skipped media duties after the match due to the injury but is working diligently to be prepared for the doubles match.
The sisters are slated to face Camila Osorio and Solana Sierra. Although a specific court has not been assigned, officials stated the match will not start before 16:30 BST. This late placement allows Serena additional time to recover. Insiders have indicated that the intention remains for the sisters to participate, and they are expected to be featured on a major show court once the day’s singles play concludes.
