Wimbledon 2026: Serena Williams and Venus Williams added to Saturday’s order of play but not allocated a court

Serena Williams’ hopes of playing alongside older sister Venus in the Wimbledon doubles look to have improved after the pair’s match was added to Saturday’s order of play.

Williams, 44, picked up a knee injury in her singles comeback on Tuesday, when she lost to Australia’s Maya Joint.

The sisters, who are six-time doubles champions at the All England Club, are scheduled to reunite on a Grand Slam court for the first time since 2022.

Their match against Colombia’s Camila Osorio and Argentina’s Solana Sierra has not been allocated a court, but organisers say it will not be played before 16:30 BST.

It suggests Serena Williams is being given as long as possible to declare herself fit after her knee swelled up during a gallant three-set defeat by 20-year-old Joint.

Sources close to the 23-time Grand Slam singles champion told BBC Sport on Friday that the plan is for her to play.

It is likely the Williams sisters, who were given a wildcard, will be put on one of Wimbledon’s biggest show courts once the day’s singles matches have finished.

However, the loose scheduling leaves Wimbledon with no issues in case the American superstars do withdraw.
