Williams sisters placed on Saturday schedule as Serena fitness wait continues

Serena and Venus Williams are listed for Wimbledon doubles on Saturday, but Serena's recent knee issue means her participation still carries some uncertainty.

Serena and Venus Williams have been added to Saturday's Wimbledon doubles order of play, with their match against Camila Osorio and Solana Sierra scheduled no earlier than 16:30 BST. Serena's availability is still not fully settled after a right knee problem affected her singles return earlier in the week.

The sisters, six-time Wimbledon doubles champions, are in line to play together at a Grand Slam for the first time since 2022. They entered the event with a wildcard, adding another high-profile storyline to the All England Club schedule.

Serena, 44, sustained the knee issue during her singles defeat to Australia's Maya Joint and has not been reported on the Wimbledon practice courts in the past three days. Her agent Jill Smoller said she left the grounds without assistance and is working to be ready for doubles.

The match has not yet been assigned a court, which leaves organisers flexibility if the Williams sisters withdraw. For now, the listing keeps alive the prospect of another Wimbledon appearance for one of tennis' most celebrated doubles pairings, while making Serena's fitness the central question.
