US tennis legend Serena Williams will make her return to Wimbledon in women’s doubles with sister Venus.

The pair have been given a wild card into the championships, beginning on June 29, as Serena continues her surprise comeback.

The 44-year-old played her first match since 2022 last week at Queen’s Club, winning one round alongside Victoria Mboko before the Canadian was forced to pull out through injury.

Williams is set to play the second match of her comeback alongside Czech star Karolina Muchova at the Berlin Tennis Open on Tuesday.

The Williams sisters are six-time doubles champions at Wimbledon, winning their last title on their most recent appearance together a decade ago.

Serena is a seven-time singles champion at the famous tournament, with Venus victorious on five occasions.
