Serena and Venus Williams have been added to Saturday's order of play at Wimbledon, signaling a potential return to doubles competition for the sisters. Their match against Camila Osorio of Colombia and Solana Sierra of Argentina has not yet been assigned a court but is scheduled not to begin before 4:30 p.m. BST.
This inclusion suggests that Serena Williams, who sustained a knee injury during her singles comeback match on Tuesday, is being given additional time to recover. Sources close to the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion indicated on Friday that the plan is for her to participate.
The Williams sisters, who have won six Wimbledon doubles titles together, were granted a wildcard entry into the tournament. Their reunion on a Grand Slam court would be their first appearance as a doubles pair since 2022. Organizers are likely to schedule their match on one of Wimbledon's main courts after the conclusion of the day's singles matches. The flexible scheduling allows Wimbledon officials to adjust if either player is unable to compete.
