Serena and Venus Williams are scheduled to compete in the Wimbledon doubles on Saturday, July 3, 2026. The match against Colombia's Camila Osorio and Argentina's Solana Sierra marks the first time the sisters will play together in a Grand Slam since 2022. Serena, 44, is recovering from a knee injury sustained during her singles match earlier this week.
Williams Sisters' History at Wimbledon
The Williams sisters have a storied history at Wimbledon, having won the women's doubles title six times. Their last victory together at this prestigious event was in 2016. Known for their powerful serves and strategic play, the duo has captivated audiences for over two decades.
Scheduled for 16:30 BST, the match has not yet been assigned a court, allowing organizers flexibility in case Serena is unable to participate. A source close to the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion indicated that she is aiming to play, emphasizing her determination to be fit for the match.
Serena's Injury Update
During her singles match against Australia's Maya Joint, Serena Williams suffered a knee injury that raised concerns about her participation in the doubles. After a valiant three-set battle, she was excused from media obligations due to her condition. According to her agent, Jill Smoller, "Serena tweaked her right knee at the end of the first set and was therefore excused from her media obligations by the Wimbledon and WTA medical teams."
