Serena and Venus will play together at the 2026 US Open.

Venus Williams and Serena Williams will enjoy one last dance together. It is now official what was a poorly kept secret, likely the reason for the younger sister's return: to enjoy one last Grand Slam together. This was confirmed by the US Open 2026, which today officially announced the invitations for the final draws of the men's and women's doubles, with the spotlight on both legends.

They will try to make up for the failed attempt at Wimbledon, where they ultimately withdrew from the draw following Serena's effort in singles. The demands of her first match on her return at 44 years old and the physical discomfort from that match led to a very painful withdrawal: later, the pair proved in Cincinnati that they can still be truly competitive, playing an incredible match in the first round against Marta Kostyuk and Peyton Stearns (they lost 10-8 in the super tiebreak of the third set).

What to expect from Serena and Venus Williams at the US Open 2026?

This time, the younger of the Williams sisters will not have to focus on singles, dedicating 100% of her efforts to a doubles campaign that, given her excellent level during certain moments in mixed doubles alongside Carlos Alcaraz, promises a lot. Venus will still focus on singles, as she has accumulated 14 consecutive losses in singles and will seek to change that dynamic supported by her family in the most special tournament of the entire season. On the other hand, there were not many surprises in the rest of the invitations granted in both draws, filled with a good number of Americans looking to surprise the more experienced players in the discipline.
