Sister Serena probably made a little gusto - because as it became known on Tuesday, Venus Williams will also serve at the 2022 Wimbledon tournament. And in mixed at the side of local hero Jamie Murray. Venus has won the singles competition at Wimbledon five times, and the doubles with Serena just as often. Venus has also played with Nick Kyrgios at Wimbledon. After Williams is only 560th in the current WTA world rankings, she and Murray need a wildcard for a place in the mixed field. The All England Lawn Tennis Club will certainly be happy to grant you this.
Serena Williams has famously opted for a singles start after only competing in doubles alongside Ons Jabeur at Eastbourne last week. Apparently, this was not an option for 42-year-old Venus. The older of the two Williams sisters played their last match last summer at the WTA Tour 250 tournament in Chicago.
