Venus Williams to play mixed doubles with Jamie Murray at Wimbledon

BREAKING: Venus Williams will team up with Jamie Murray in the mixed doubles event at Wimbledon 2022.

Venus Williams is making a long-awaited comeback, as the American made a last-minute decision to partner with Andy Murray’s brother in the mixed doubles for the first time. Wimbledon is expected to grant them a wildcard. So, Williams’ request to enter has not yet been confirmed, but it is highly likely that the tournament will accept it.

Having been absent from the Tour since August 2021, the 42-year-old Venus is presumably ready to slowly get back to competition by playing doubles, just like her sister Serena did by partnering with Ons Jabeur last week at Eastbourne.
