Last week, Venus and Serena Williams announced some exciting news for their fans. The Williams sisters announced that they will be teaming up to play doubles at the US Open. It will be the last time that fans will be able to see them play together as Serena will hang up her boots after the tournament.

Fans will be thronging the stadium to catch a glimpse of the Williams sisters in action. However, they have a difficult road in their last Grand Slam tournament together.

Who will Venus and Serena Williams face at the 2022 US Open?

The 14-time Grand Slam doubles champions have been drawn to face the Czech Republican pairing of Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova in the first round of the US Open. Lucie Hradecka is a two-time Grand Slam doubles champion and a former World Number 4. Additionally, she also won a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics.

Further, if Serena and Venus manage to move past the first round, they will potentially face the 13th seeds, Alexa Guarachi and Andreja Klepac. A potential clash with the top seed pairing of Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens will await the Williams sisters in the third round of the tournament.
