伦敦——塞雷娜·威廉姆斯与维纳斯·威廉姆斯将在温布尔登网球锦标赛上再度携手出战双打。
全英俱乐部于周二宣布,将为威廉姆斯姐妹颁发赛事双打外卡,该项赛事将于两周后开赛。
此番搭档复出前,44岁的塞雷娜刚刚在离开职业网坛近四年后重返赛场。
仍在零星参赛的维纳斯将于周三迎来46岁生日。
威廉姆斯姐妹搭档共计斩获14座大满贯双打冠军,其中6座来自温网——首座冠军诞生于2000年,最后一座则是在2016年。
塞雷娜上周在伦敦女王俱乐部搭档维多利亚·姆博科赢下了自己复出后的首场双打比赛,她原计划于周二晚在柏林公开赛搭档卡洛琳娜·穆霍娃出战双打。
威廉姆斯姐妹上一次搭档出战双打是在2022年美国网球公开赛,当时她们在首轮赛事中落败。那也是她们时隔四年半再度联手双打。
塞雷娜与姆博科在女王俱乐部的首轮比赛中获胜,但随后因姆博科在单打赛事中膝盖受伤,不得不退赛。
塞雷娜并未排除重返单打赛场的可能性,本届赛事女单剩余的8张外卡中,有一张标注为“待公布”。
其他温网外卡分配情况
近期法网决赛选手玛雅·赫瓦林斯卡获得了女单外卡,另有六名英国女选手同样拿到外卡:哈丽雅特·达特、艾丽西亚·杜德尼、汉娜·克鲁格曼、米卡·斯托萨耶维奇、凯蒂·斯旺以及咪咪·徐。
男单外卡归属斯坦·瓦林卡、格里戈尔·迪米特洛夫以及四名英国选手:雅各布·弗恩利、亚瑟·费里、杰克·平宁顿·琼斯以及托比·塞缪尔。
三度大满贯冠军得主瓦林卡职业生涯温网最佳战绩为两次打进八强,他计划于今年年底退役。
迪米特洛夫在去年温网男单十六强战中曾以两盘领先最终冠军扬尼克·辛纳,却因胸肌受伤在第三盘早早退赛。目前迪米特洛夫的世界排名为第169位。
男单外卡仍剩余两个名额尚未确定。
男双方面,亚历山大·布勃利克与尼克·基里奥斯的组合拿到了外卡。基里奥斯曾在2022年打进温网男单决赛。
2021年温网男单决赛选手马泰奥·贝雷蒂尼虽在法网打进八强,却并未出现在外卡名单中。他当前世界排名第49位,但在温网参赛名单敲定之时,他的排名还在百名之外。不过如果有选手退赛,贝雷蒂尼仍有可能直接获得正赛参赛资格。
Serena and Venus Williams to play doubles together again, at Wimbledon
June 16, 2026 7:23 AM EDT / AP
London —Serena and Venus Williams are bringing their doubles partnership back at Wimbledon.
The All England Club announced a doubles wild card invitation on Tuesday for the sisters to take part in the tournament, which starts in less than two weeks.
The move comes after 44-year-old Serena recently returned to competition after nearly four years away from professional tennis.
Venus, who has still been competing sporadically, turns 46 on Wednesday.
The Williams sisters have won 14 Grand Slam titles together in doubles, including six at Wimbledon – the first of them in 2000 and the last in 2016.
Serena won her first doubles match with partner Victoria Mboko at Queen’s Club in London last week and was slated to play doubles with Karolina Muchova at the Berlin Open later on Tuesday.
The Williams sisters last played doubles together at the 2022 U.S. Open, where they lost their opening match. That was the first time they’d played doubles together in 4-1/2 years.
Serena and Mboko won their opening match at Queen’s Club but then had to withdraw after Mboko injured her knee in a singles match.
Serena hasn’t ruled out a return in singles, as well, and one of the eight wild card spots for women’s singles was left as “to be announced.”
Other Wimbledon draws
Recent French Open finalist Maja Chwalinska received a singles wild card, as did six British women: Harriet Dart, Alicia Dudeney, Hannah Klugman, Mika Stojsavljevic, Katie Swan, and Mimi Xu.
Men’s singles wild cards went to Stan Wawrinka and Grigor Dimitrov and four British players: Jacob Fearnley, Arthur Fery, Jack Pinnington Jones and Toby Samuel.
Wawrinka, a three-time Grand Slam champion whose best result at Wimbledon was reaching the quarterfinals twice, plans to retire at the end of the year.
Dimotrov led eventual champion Jannik Sinner two sets to none in the round of 16 last year before having to retire early in the third due to an injured pectoral muscle. Dimitrov is now ranked No. 169.
Two more men’s singles wild cards were also left open.
In men’s doubles, a wild card went to the pairing of Alexander Bublik and Nick Kyrgios. Kyrgios was a singles finalist in 2022.
Matteo Berrettini, a Wimbledon finalist in 2021, was left off the list despite a quarterfinal appearance at the French Open. He’s ranked No. 49 but was ranked outside the top 100 when Wimbledon’s entry list was established. Still, Berrettini could get direct entry into the main draw depending on withdrawals.
