Williams and Muchova set for their opening match
For their first match, Williams and Muchova will face the duo of Giuliana Olmos and Erin Routliffe.
The New Zealander had already crossed paths with Serena this week in London, where she played alongside Nicole Melichar-Martinez.
Gauff and Pegula also present
The doubles draw will also feature several other top names. Coco Gauff, far from her favorite surface, will be partnered with her compatriot Jessica Pegula.
The two players will begin their tournament against Anastasia Potapova and Diana Shnaider, in one of the most interesting first-round matchups.
