The Williams sisters are set to play together for the first time since 2018.
In doubles, the Williams sisters have had lots of success as they have 14 Grand Slam titles together.
Impressively, the Williams sisters have never lost a Grand Slam doubles final together.
At the US Open, they have two titles as a pair.
Their last Grand Slam title came in 2016, when they made it all the way at Wimbledon.
Since their 2016 Wimbledon triumph, they have played only once.
In 2018, the Williams sisters suffered a round-of-16 loss at the French Open.
Are Serena and Venus Williams both retiring?Serena is planning to retire after the US Open but Venus hasn't made any official announcements.
Chris Evert, an American tennis legend, noted that Venus is a low-key personality and it will be interesting to see if she simply says after the US Open that she is done as well.
"I think you hit on a very important point because having a sibling, and you having a sibling, with the grace, with the way they handled competing with each other, the family came first. And the competitiveness came second when they played each other," Evert told ESPN. "Venus, nobody is even talking about Venus. I agree. It’s like, if you just set her apart from Serena and you look at her record and you look at how many Wimbledons she’s won and you look at grand slams and doubles and you look at the influence she’s had, and she’s been such a different personality than Serena. And she’s not getting a lot of attention. And, I don’t know, I think it’s just interesting to me. Are they going to both retire at the same time? Is Venus going to keep going and Serena is going to retire? I think that’s an interesting question too. What are Venus plans? She’s kind of in the shadow of Serena right now and nobody is taking stock of what her tennis plans are. But that would be interesting, too."
