Serena and Venus Williams: Doubles comeback together in Cincinnati

»It was fun and special. We shook off a little rust,” Serena Williams said. She didn't come to Cincinnati to win the tournament: »It's about having fun. I wanted to do my best.” The sisters also want to compete together at the US Open (August 30th to September 13th).

Serena, 44, and Venus Williams, 46, are among the most successful doubles pairings in tennis history. Together, the Americans won 14 Grand Slam doubles titles and three Olympic gold medals. Their last double appearance together so far dates from the US Open 2022. The duo received a wildcard for the hard court tournament in Ohio.

Venus Williams also played in the singles in Cincinnati, but clearly lost to the Colombian Emiliana Arango at the start.
