Serena Williams and Venus Williams have officially received a wild card entry into the 2026 Wimbledon Ladies’ Doubles Tournament, marking their first time playing together at the All-England Club in a decade.
The historic announcement from Wimbledon organizers solidifies Serena’s professional tennis comeback after a four-year retirement. Serena, 44, noted that her oldest daughter, Olympia, and Venus’s recent play inspired her return. Venus, who turns 46 this June, continues her record 33rd consecutive WTA season.
Wimbledon’s main tournament begins Monday, June 29, 2026, and the ladies’ doubles draw kicks off on Wednesday, July 1, 2026. At a combined 90 years old, they would become the oldest duo to ever win a Grand Slam doubles title if they place first.
Neither sister is currently slated for the singles draw, though one final women’s singles wildcard spot remains unallocated.
