The Williams sisters changed the tennis landscape when they arrived as talented teenagers in the 1990s.

With their powerful game styles, skill sets and athleticism, the pair blew opponents off the court as they swept up the game’s most prestigious prizes.

Between them, they have won 30 Grand Slam singles titles – including 12 Wimbledon victories. They have also won six women’s doubles titles together at SW19 – their first in 2000 and most recent in 2016.

Now, three decades since their initial impact on the sport, they are reuniting on the biggest stage.

The pair have not played together since the 2022 US Open, which was Serena Williams’ final tournament before she “evolved away” from the sport.

Venus Williams, who turns 46 on Wednesday, has continued to play sparingly on the tour in recent seasons, including at this year’s Australian Open where she was given a singles wildcard.

She became the second oldest woman to win a WTA Tour-level singles match by beating 23-year-old Peyton Stearns at last year’s Washington Open.

Asked at the recent French Open about her sister’s comeback, Venus Williams said she was “not worried” about how Serena would play.

“What I will tell you is she will not hit for four months then grab her racquet and come out and hit a tonne out of the ball – it’s incredible,” Venus Williams told TNT Sports.

“The quality of her stroke is obviously there. She is a natural – she is very tenacious.”
