Serena and Venus to play doubles at Wimbledon

Wimbledon’s preview is being shaped by a mix of favourites, injuries, and headline attractions, with Serena and Venus Williams set to play doubles at the tournament. Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Novak Djokovic, and Carlos Alcaraz all feature in the build-up talk around the grass-court event. The practical consequence is a crowded championship picture, while Alcaraz’s absence due to wrist injury and the Williams sisters’ doubles appearance add major storylines to the fortnight.
