Venus and Serena Williams receive wildcard entries for Wimbledon 2026

Venus and Serena Williams have been confirmed as wildcard entries for Wimbledon in 2026. They will compete together in doubles, aiming to replicate their past success where they won six titles at the grass-court Grand Slam, with their last victory occurring in 2016. Wildcard entries are discretionary and can be awarded to players based on their previous performances or for increasing participation. This year, Maja Chwalinska received a wildcard following her French Open runner-up finish. Stan Wawrinka, a three-time Grand Slam champion, is also participating this year as he heads into retirement.
