Williams sisters receive Wimbledon doubles wildcard

BBC Sport tennis news reporterPublished1 minute agoSerena Williams and Venus Williams have received a wildcard for the Wimbledon women's doubles.

Neither of the sisters features on the list of singles wildcards - although there is one remaining spot still to be given.

Williams, 44, made her comeback at Queen's last week, four years after playing what many expected to be the final match of her career at the 2022 US Open.

The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, whose tally in that count includes seven Wimbledon titles, is playing doubles in Berlin this week with Karolina Muchova and will continue her comeback on the Grand Slam stage alongside Venus at the All England Club.

Former British number one Dan Evans has not been given a wildcard for the men's singles main draw in what will be the final tournament of the 36-year-old's career.
