Serena and Venus Williams lose in their US Open women’s doubles return, falling to Chan Hao-ching and Maya Joint in a hard-fought match. The Williams sisters win the first set 6-3, then drop the second set 6-7 (6/8), before losing a final set decided by a tiebreak, 7-6 (10/7). During the decisive moments, they hold a commanding lead in the deciding tiebreak but ultimately fall.
Reports describe the match as taking place at Arthur Ashe Stadium and note the electrifying atmosphere created by the Williams sisters. Multiple outlets also point to the context of their comeback: Venus and Serena last played Grand Slam doubles at the 2022 US Open. While the coverage focuses on the swing of momentum across three sets, the common thread is the Williams sisters’ return ending in defeat against Chan and Joint.
Across outlets, the key emphasis differs slightly—some highlight the drama of the final tiebreak, while others stress the significance of the comeback after a long absence—but all confirm the same match result, sets, and opponents.
