Overview
- Tournament organisers announced Tuesday that the All England Club granted Serena and Venus Williams a wildcard into the women's doubles draw for Wimbledon 2026.
- Serena resumed competitive play last week at Queen's Club and won an opening doubles match before partner Victoria Mboko suffered a knee injury that ruled Mboko out of Wimbledon.
- Serena partnered Karolína Muchová in the Berlin Tennis Open and lost in the first round on June 16, the same day Wimbledon confirmed the Williamses' doubles wild card.
- Neither Serena nor Venus was named on the initial list of women's singles wildcards and one women's singles slot remains unfilled, so a singles return for Serena is not confirmed.
- The sisters have won six Wimbledon doubles titles and 14 Grand Slam women's doubles crowns together, and their reunion is set to boost public and media interest in the Championships.
