Serena and Venus Williams are the two most successful players in the history of women’s tennis. The records that they have made and broken on the tour since their debut will last for decades. In fact, they were the only ones who could challenge each other for a long time. Being two of the best players in the women’s circuit, the Williams duo, in a way, were invincible when they collaborated in doubles.

However, for quite some time, they focused on singles, especially Serena. But now, as the 23-time Grand Slam champion is retiring, the sisters have joined hands again to recreate the magic on the hard courts of their home Grand Slam tournament.
