This event is also the first time the Williams sisters have competed together at the Cincinnati Open.
The pair was previously awarded a doubles wild card for Wimbledon earlier this summer, but Serena was forced to withdraw because of an injury.
As a doubles team, Serena and Venus have built one of the greatest résumés in tennis history.
Together, they’ve won 14 Grand Slam doubles titles and three Olympic gold medals.
Venus also received a singles wild card into this year’s Cincinnati Open.
The 46-year-old owns a 12-10 career record at the Cincinnati Open. She reached the semifinals in 2012 and advanced to the quarterfinals in 2019.
The tournament is another milestone in Serena’s return to the court. The 44-year-old resumed competition this summer after making her first singles appearance in nearly four years at Wimbledon.
Other women’s singles wild-card recipients include Sloane Stephens, Taylor Townsend, Darja Vidmanova, Elvina Kalieva, Caroline Dolehide and Lois Boisson.
The Cincinnati Open starts August 8th and runs through the 23rd. Men’s and women’s singles finals are scheduled on the final weekend.
