Serena Williams will partner with her sister Venus Williams in the final tournament of her glittering career at the upcoming 2022 US Open scheduled for Monday, August 29 to Sunday, September 11.
The tournament organizers said the legendary duo had agreed to team up, bringing together one of the most powerful partnerships tennis has ever seen for the final time.
“Serena and Venus on the same court. The 2x #USOpen women's doubles champions have accepted a wild card,” read their Twitter post.

The Americans have won 14 doubles together since registering their maiden victory at the 1999 French Open.
Serena, a 23-time Grand Slams singles champion, announced earlier this month that she would end her career at Flushing Meadows.

She made her professional debut at the tender age of 14 in 1995 and went on to bag her first grand slam title in 1999 at the US Open.
