TEN:Williams sisters to play doubles together at Wimbledon

Serena and Venus Williams are bringing their doubles partnership back at Wimbledon.

The All England Club on Tuesday announced a doubles wild card invitation for the sisters to the tournament which starts in less than two weeks.

It comes after 44-year-old Serena recently returned to competition after nearly four years away from professional tennis.

Venus, who has still been competing sporadically, turns 46 on Wednesday.

The Williams sisters have won 14 grand slam titles together in doubles, including six at Wimbledon - the first of them in 2000 and the last in 2016.

Serena won her first doubles match with partner Victoria Mboko at Queen's Club in London last week and was slated to play doubles with Karolina Muchova at the Berlin Open later Tuesday.
