Serena Williams set to team up with sister Venus in Wimbledon doubles

Serena Williams will team up with her sister Venus and compete in the women's doubles at Wimbledon after the tennis legends received a wildcard for the Grand Slam at the All England Club.

The 44-year-old Serena made a comeback to the court after nearly four years last week at Queen's, winning her first-round match in the doubles alongside Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko.

Serena will continue her return to action when she partners Karolina Muchova in the women's doubles against Giuliana Olmos and Erin Routliffe in Berlin.

The American great has won seven Wimbledon singles titles and six doubles titles alongside older sister Venus, the last of which came in 2006.

Five-time Wimbledon singles champion Venus, 45, has lost all seven of her singles matches this season, but won a doubles match alongside Britain's Katie Boulter at the Madrid Open in April.

Stan Wawrinka, a three-time Grand Slam champion and who is retiring at the end of the season, has also been handed a wildcard, along with Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov.

French Open runner-up Maja Chwalinska has been rewarded for her Roland Garros run with a wildcard for the women's singles.
