Serena Williams‘ eagerly anticipated Wimbledon doubles reunion with sister Venus has been thrown into doubt after she injured her right knee during her singles comeback.
The 44-year-old’s representative confirmed to the Daily Mail on Wednesday that Williams ‘tweaked’ her knee during her first-round defeat to Australia’s Maya Joint, explaining why she was excused from her mandatory post-match media duties.
The update raises fresh uncertainty over whether Serena will be fit to take to the court alongside Venus later this week, with the sisters due to make their long-awaited return as a doubles partnership at the All England Club.
Jill Smoller, Williams’ agent, said:
