Williams sisters to play doubles at Wimbledon

Serena and Venus Williams received a doubles wild-card invitation to compete at Wimbledon, the All England Club announced Tuesday.

The grass-court tournament begins on June 29.

The decision comes on the heels of Serena Williams recently returning to competition following a nearly four-year retirement. She teamed with Victoria Mboko of Canada at the HSBC Championships in London last week, but their tournament ended when Mboko withdrew due to a knee injury in a singles match.

Serena is 44. Venus will turn 46 on Wednesday.

The sisters combined to win 14 Grand Slam titles together in doubles, including six at Wimbledon.

Serena will team up with Karolina Muchova at the Berlin Open on Tuesday.
