Venus and Serena Williams Receive Wimbledon 2026 Doubles Wild Card

Venus Williams said she "can't wait" to team up with sister Serena Williams in doubles at Wimbledon 2026 after the pair received a wild card for the draw. The sisters will face Camila Osorio and Solana Sierra in the first round. Venus Williams, 46, who won five Wimbledon singles titles between 2000 and 2008, described the return as special.

"We have had quite a history here and it's nice to be back in 2026, so ready to go," she said. The pair last won a Wimbledon doubles title together ten years ago and hold six titles at the event combined. "I'm excited we're playing together and I can't wait until we hit the courts," Venus Williams added.

Serena Williams, 44, will also compete in the women's singles event for the first time in four years. She is scheduled to play Australian world No. 53 Maya Joint in the first round. Venus Williams said there is no doubt Serena has nothing to prove.

She noted that everyone experiences nerves in sports, calling it part of being human.
