Serena Williams' Wimbledon Doubles Return in Jeopardy After Knee Injury – Decision at Last Minute?
Can Serena Williams truly team up with Venus in doubles at Wimbledon? With her knee injury still a concern, the answer may come down to the wire.
Will the grand return of the Williams sisters in doubles actually happen?
Invited by the organizers to play the doubles draw, Serena and Venus Williams have been uncertain since.
The reason: the knee injury Serena sustained during her first-round singles loss to Maya Joint, which still raises fears of a last-minute withdrawal.
Serena finally fit to play
Injured in the knee during her highly anticipated singles return, Serena Williams left the court without confirming her participation in doubles, leaving real uncertainty around her reunion with sister Venus.
According to ESPN, the American legend is nonetheless able to take her place despite this injury and should indeed play the doubles tournament.
However, Wimbledon has not yet officially scheduled their match against Solana Sierra and Camila Osorio, while several first-round women's doubles matches are set for Friday.
The final decision should therefore come at the last moment, whether through an announcement from the tournament or a confirmation from Serena Williams herself.
