WASHINGTON: Serena and Venus Williams will resume their doubles partnership on a wild card entry at this month’s Cincinnati Masters, the final big tournament before the US Open.
The sisters, who have won 14 major doubles titles, last played doubles together at the 2022 US Open. They received a wild card into the tournament on Monday, with Venus Williams also set to play singles.
Other main draw wild cards in the women’s side of the ATP-WTA event include Sloane Stephens, Taylor Townsend, Caroline Dolehide and Elvina Kalieva.
Serena, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, lost in the Wimbledon first round in her first singles match in four years.
The 44-year-old had played a pair of doubles matches before that, but a knee injury saw her cancel plans to play with Venus.
Other singles wild cards for the Aug 8-23 event went to Czech Darja Vidmanova and France’s Lois Boisson.
