Field Level Media
Serena and Venus Williams will play doubles together for the first time in two years at this year’s French Open.
The American sisters, two-time winners at Roland Garros, will be in the field as a wild-card entrant, tournament organizers announced Thursday.
Serena and Venus have not played doubles together at a major since winning Wimbledon in 2016. The sisters won the French Open in 1999 and 2010, losing in the first round in 2013 and third round in 2016 in their two draws in Paris since their last title.
Serena and Venus are each set to compete in singles as well, with Serena expected to be unseeded in her first major since giving birth to her daughter in September. The 36-year-old Serena was ranked No. 1 in the world when she took leave to give birth and is now ranked No. 453.
French Open qualifying is already underway, with the tournament scheduled to begin Sunday.
