New York, Aug 28 (SocialNews.XYZ) Serena Williams and Venus Williams will reunite for doubles at the U.S Open after receiving a wild card for the tournament, which is set to begin on Monday.
The William sisters are two-time champions at the U.S Open and will pair for the first time since 2018 Roland Garros.
