NEW YORK (AP) — Serena and Venus Williams are teaming up again at the U.S. Open.
The sisters will play doubles at the tournament after receiving a wild card Wednesday into the event they won twice.
Serena Williams returned to tennis this summer after a four-year absence, and the sisters were set to play at Wimbledon before Serena had to withdraw after injuring her knee in her singles loss. They played in the Cincinnati Open, losing in the first round.
The Williams sisters won the 1999 and 2009 U.S. Open doubles titles and are 27-7 in their nine appearances.
Serena, 44, played with Carlos Alcaraz in mixed doubles Tuesday, winning one match before losing in the quarterfinals. Venus, 46, is entered in the women’s singles event.
