Tennis legends Serena and Venus Williams are set to compete in the women's doubles at the 2026 US Open after receiving a wildcard entry. This marks their reunion on the court after a four-year hiatus from doubles play, with their last appearance together being at the 2022 US Open.

The sisters have a strong history at Flushing Meadows, having won the women's doubles title twice before, first in 1999 and again in 2009. Their return to the doubles court comes as Venus Williams has also secured a wildcard for the singles main draw, which commences on August 30.

Serena Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, has yet to confirm her plans for a singles campaign at this year's tournament. She recently made a competitive return in mixed doubles, partnering with Carlos Alcaraz. The duo advanced to the second round before being eliminated by Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli. The Williams sisters have collectively won 14 Grand Slam doubles titles and three Olympic gold medals in women's doubles.
