New York, August 27, 2026

Serena and Venus Williams will compete together in this year's US Open doubles tournament in New York, the tournament confirmed on Wednesday.

The announcement marks a rare joint appearance by the two sisters on the professional tour. Serena and Venus Williams are among the most successful doubles pairings in recent tennis history and have triumphed together at Grand Slam tournaments on multiple occasions.

At the US Open, they have already been a feared duo: in 1999, the siblings won their first shared title in New York, followed by a second triumph ten years later. Overall, they have a record of 27 wins and seven losses across their nine joint appearances at the tournament.
