Serena and Venus Williams are the two most successful players in the history of women’s tennis. The records that they have made and broken on the tour since their debut will last for decades. In fact, they were the only ones who could challenge each other for a long time. Being two of the best players in the women’s circuit, the Williams duo, in a way, were invincible when they collaborated in doubles.

However, for quite some time, they focused on singles, especially Serena. But now, as the 23-time Grand Slam champion is retiring, the sisters have joined hands again to recreate the magic on the hard courts of their home Grand Slam tournament.

Venus Williams is thrilled about playing alongside her sister, Serena Williams

Venus, while addressing the press post her opening round defeat at the US Open, spoke about playing doubles with the younger sister for one last time. She said, “Yeah, it was Serena’s idea. She’s the boss, so do whatever she tells me to do (smiling).”

“I don’t think we have played since 2016, but might be getting that wrong. We have had some great wins. It would be nice to add some more.” Earlier, when Serena joined hands with the Tunisian Ons Jabeur Jabeur at Eastbourne, Venus shared her desire to team-up with her sister for one last time. And now her wish has come true.
