Williams sisters accept US Open doubles wildcard in Serena's final slam
Serena Williams (40) and older sister Venus (42) have accepted a doubles wildcard for the US Open, tournament organisers said on Saturday.
The Williams sisters are two-times doubles champions at season's final major, having triumphed together in 1999 and 2009.
Together they have won 14 women's Grand Slam doubles titles.
The US Open, which begins on Monday, could be the final tournament of Serena's glittering career as she announced last month her pending retirement but never confirmed the August 29th-September 11th as her final event. The future for Venus is yet to be known.
Both Serena and Venus are also competing in the singles draw.
