Serena and Venus Williams have been handed a doubles wild card for this month’s Cincinnati Open.
The sisters were supposed to team up and play doubles at Wimbledon in June.
However, Serena, 44, pulled out after tweaking her knee during a three-set loss to Australian Maya Joint in the first round of the singles competition.
An appearance at the WTA 1000 event in Ohio, which runs from August 11 to 23, could pave the way for Serena’s return to the US Open, where she has not played since 2022.
The final grand slam of the year at Flushing Meadows begins on August 23.
Together, Venus and Serena have won 14 major titles and three Olympic gold medals.
They have not played doubles together since the 2022 US Open and are set to make their Cincinnati debut as a pairing.
Venus, 46, has also received a wild card into the singles draw of the tournament.
