现年46岁的维纳斯和44岁的塞雷娜·威廉姆斯将在美国网球公开赛重新携手,这是两人时隔四年后再次作为双打搭档参赛1。这次复出源于塞雷娜9岁女儿奥林匹亚的请求,小奥林匹亚对她说:"You need to play with Auntie VeVe"1。两位传奇姐妹将在周五晚间的亚瑟·阿什体育场迎战澳大利亚的玛雅·琼特和台湾的詹皓晴1。
塞雷娜四年前在《Vogue》杂志上宣布"evolving away from tennis"1,而如今她选择重新回到赛场。塞雷娜表示:"I just really want my children to see me play at a different age",并补充道"I hope to show them that anything is possible. You can do anything at any age as long as you work hard"1。威廉姆斯姐妹作为双打组合曾赢得14个大满贯中的2个,两个冠军均来自美国公开赛(1999年和2009年)1。她们上次在美国网球公开赛并肩参赛是在2022年,当时在首轮遭到淘汰1。
Serena and Venus Williams are coming together once again as doubles partners at the US Open, marking their first appearance as a team in four years.1 The reunion was prompted by an unexpected request from Serena's nine-year-old daughter Olympia, who told her mother: "You need to play with Auntie VeVe."1
The sisters, now 44 and 46 respectively, will compete in an evening match at Arthur Ashe Stadium against Australia's Maya Joint and Taiwan's Hao-Ching Chan.1 Their last joint appearance at the US Open came in 2022, when they were eliminated in the first round.1 As a doubles partnership, the Williams sisters have won two Grand Slam titles, both at the US Open in 1999 and 2009.1
Serena stepped back from professional tennis four years ago, announcing in Vogue that she was "evolving away from tennis."1 Now returning to compete with her sister, she expressed her motivation: "I just really want my children to see me play at a different age" and "I hope to show them that anything is possible. You can do anything at any age as long as you work hard."1
