Serena and Venus Williams are set to reunite for the first time in 10 years at Wimbledon 2026, with the tournament running from June 29 to July 12, 2026.

They last played together in 2016

The Williams sisters have won six Wimbledon doubles titles (2000–2016) and hold a perfect 14–0 record in Grand Slam doubles finals UPI+1. Their chemistry, power, and consistency made them one of the most celebrated doubles teams in tennis history.

Serena, 44, made her first professional match since 2022 at Queen’s Club in London, winning her opening match with Victoria Mboko before Mboko’s injury forced a withdrawal. She will also compete in doubles with Karolína Muchová at the Berlin Open.

The fans are excited about the historic record: Six Wimbledon titles, 14 major doubles titles combined with extra anticipation as Serena continues her comeback after a long break from competition.
