Serena and Venus Williams to reunite in doubles at 2026 Cincinnati Open

Olympic champions Serena Williams (44) and Venus Williams (46) have been granted a wild‑card entry into the women’s doubles draw of the WTA 1000 Cincinnati Open, scheduled for August 11‑23, 2026 in Mason, Ohio. The pairing marks their first tournament together since the 2022 US Open, where they were eliminated in the first round. Both sisters also received singles wild cards, with Venus entering the main draw and Serena returning to singles competition after a four‑year hiatus before withdrawing from the doubles event due to a right‑knee injury suffered in her first‑round singles loss. The Williams duo have a combined record of 14 Grand Slam doubles titles and three Olympic gold medals, making their reunion a major talking point ahead of the US Open.
