Serena and Venus Williams have been by far the most dominant sibling pairing in women's tennis history. And at the 2022 US Open, they are going to go for what appears their final run.
The Williams sisters were extended, and accepted, a wild-card bid to compete in the US Open doubles tournament in 2022. Though Serena Williams has not said outright that the US Open will be her final tournament, she strongly suggested this will be the final Grand Slam event in her historic career.
These two legends of the sport have been historically good as a doubles pairing. They are 14-0 in Grand Slam doubles finals, the best unbeaten record in tennis history. They also have won three Olympic gold medals together.
The two made their first doubles appearance together since the 2018 French Open when they faced Czech pair Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova in Round 1 in the 2022 US Open. The Williams sisters beat Hradecka and Andrea Hlavackova for the 2012 Wimbledon doubles title.
