Tennis Legend Sisters Reunite: Serena Williams to Team Up with Venus for Wimbledon Women's Doubles

(CNA, London, June 16 - Comprehensive international news report) American tennis star Serena Williams has today been awarded a wildcard entry into Wimbledon, reuniting with her sister Venus Williams to compete in the women's doubles at this year's tournament, generating widespread attention.

According to AFP and other media outlets, Serena, now 44, holds 23 Grand Slam women's singles titles and has won 14 Grand Slam women's doubles championships alongside her sister Venus, including six Wimbledon women's doubles titles. Their last joint title victory was a decade ago.

After announcing her 'evolving away' from tennis following the 2022 US Open, Serena did not participate in any professional tournaments for nearly four years. However, she recently announced her return to the tour ahead of the Wimbledon warm-up event, the Queen's Club Championships, motivated by her desire for her two young daughters to see their mother play.

Last week, Serena partnered with Canadian newcomer Victoria Mboko to win their first-round match at the Queen's Club women's doubles, delivering an impressive comeback debut.

Unfortunately, after Mboko withdrew due to injury, Serena was unable to continue in the tournament. Nevertheless, she plans to compete this week at the Berlin Tennis Open, teaming up with Czech player Karolina Muchova in women's doubles, continuing her comeback journey.

Wimbledon is set to begin on the 29th of this month. While many expected Serena might enter the singles event, her name did not appear on the singles wildcard list. Due to her prolonged absence from competition, she no longer has a world ranking and can only enter via wildcard.

The Williams sisters last competed together at the 2022 US Open women's doubles, where they were eliminated in the first round. Now, after years apart, their reunion—regardless of final results—has already become a major talking point of this year's Wimbledon. (Translation: Chen Cheng-chien) 1150616
