The All England Club will see something at the 2026 Wimbledon Championships that it hasn’t seen in a decade. That is the teaming up of Venus and Serena Williams in doubles competition that starts in roughly two weeks.

Wimbledon made the announcement on Tuesday when it revealed those who had been granted Wild Cards to this year’s tournament. Serena and Venus are one of seven ladies doubles pairings, and they are the only non-British participants among the 14 individual players.
