Serena Williams and Venus Williams are scheduled to return to women’s doubles at the Cincinnati Open after receiving a wildcard entry for the doubles draw. Multiple outlets report that the sisters will make their team debut at the tournament and resume partnership for the first time in several years. The Guardian notes the pair last played doubles together at the 2022 US Open, and it also recalls Serena’s return to action at Wimbledon before an injury sidelined her. The Cincinnati Open starts later this month, with the US Open beginning on 31 August in New York, according to The Guardian. BBC Sport and other reports focus on the wildcard decision and the sisters’ participation in the women’s doubles event. The Williams sisters have an extensive shared record, including 14 major doubles titles, six at Wimbledon, as well as three Olympic gold medals, with The Guardian providing these career highlights. All sources agree on the same core points: the wildcard is awarded, the sisters will play together in Cincinnati’s doubles tournament, and it represents their return to doubles competition as a team.
