Serena Williams Eyes Toronto and U.S. Open Mixed Doubles After Wimbledon Knee Scare
A staged hard-court return will let medical checks determine whether she adds singles or doubles.
Overview
- Serena tweaked her right knee during her Wimbledon singles comeback and withdrew from a planned doubles reunion with Venus after receiving on‑court treatment.
- Multiple media reports say her knee 'looks like it’s healed' and that she is expected to target the Canadian Open in Toronto as a hard-court tune-up this summer.
- Those reports also say Serena is likely to begin the U.S. Open by entering mixed doubles and could add women's singles or doubles if fitness allows.
- Venus has a confirmed wildcard into the D.C. Open and is expected to join parts of the North American swing with Serena possibly following to Cincinnati and Toronto.
- All plans remain reported rather than confirmed and hinge on ongoing fitness checks, with speculation about a Serena–Carlos Alcaraz mixed pairing dependent on Alcaraz’s wrist recovery.
