The return of Serena Williams and Venus Williams is already capturing all the attention at Wimbledon 2026. The two sisters will compete together again in the tournament where they built one of the most legendary doubles trajectories in history, and the draw has reserved for them a path as attractive as it is demanding. If this does end up being the "Last Dance" for the Americans, they will have to overcome several significant obstacles to aspire to one last title.

The Williams sisters will debut against the pair formed by Laura Siegemund and Renata Voracova, a manageable start on paper for two players who know the lawns of London like few others. However, the difficulty would increase rapidly. In the second round, they could cross paths with Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Taylor Routliffe, the fourth seeds, while hypothetical round of 16 could bring a showdown against the powerful duo of Beatriz Haddad Maia and Olivia Nicholls, the twelfth favorites.

The journey would continue to get more challenging in the second week. In the quarterfinals, Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani appear, the sixth seeds, while a possible semifinal could pit Serena and Venus against Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend, the top favorites for the title and one of the most solid pairs on the circuit. In a hypothetical final, the most probable rivals would be Gabriela Dabrowski and Luisa Stefani, the second seeds, or Elise Mertens and Shuai Zhang, the fourth favorites.

Beyond the enormous media focus on the Williams sisters, the draw presents other attractions for Spanish tennis. Sara Sorribes will pair up again with Cristina Bucsa, a duo that already knows what it's like to achieve great successes and will start against Potapova and Gracheva. Also, Paula Badosa will share the court with Sonay Kartal, although the debut will be highly demanding against the experienced Hao-Ching Chan and Cristina Bucsa.

However, all signs point to Serena and Venus taking center stage. The draw does not give them respite, but if they manage to advance in the early rounds, Wimbledon could offer some of the most emotional matches of the entire tournament.
