Williams Sisters Reunite in Doubles Thriller | Mobile News

Serena and Venus Williams made a triumphant, nostalgic return to doubles action at the Cincinnati Open— their first team appearance since 2023’s U.S. Open — in a heart-pounding, tiebreak-filled thriller against unseeded duo Marta Kostyuk and Peyton Stearns. Down 2-6, 6-1, the sisters clawed back from a 6-0 deficit in the final tiebreak but fell short after a costly Venus double-fault. Though they lost 10-8, the match was pure magic: Serena, 44 and off the tour for a while, relished the joy of playing alongside her sister again — even if it wasn’t about winning. The pair, wild-card entrants after missing Wimbledon due to Serena’s injury, showcased their legendary chemistry with 14 Grand Slam doubles titles and 3 Olympic golds under their belts. Meanwhile, the young Ukrainian-Kentucky duo, making their debut as partners, called the tiebreak “like a lottery” — and the crowd couldn’t have agreed more.
