Wimbledon women's doubles features record number of top-30 singles players and Williams sisters wildcard

The Wimbledon women's doubles entry list has been released, showing an unprecedented presence of top‑30 singles players. Eleven players from the top‑30 rankings – including five within the top‑20 such as Jasmine Paolini (No. 14) teaming with Sara Errani – will also compete in the doubles draw, a stark contrast to the men's event where only four top‑30 singles players entered.

The field also includes past Grand Slam champions and notable contenders like Sorana Cîrstea (making her final Wimbledon appearance), Anna Kalinskaya, Marta Kostyuk, Maja Chwalińska, and former doubles specialists Elise Mertens and Katerina Siniakova. Adding a historic touch, six‑time Wimbledon doubles champions Venus and Serena Williams have received a wildcard to play together again. While they are not expected to challenge for the title, their participation celebrates two of the sport’s most influential athletes, who together hold 14 Grand Slam doubles titles, six Wimbledon crowns and three Olympic gold medals.
