Venus Williams will also compete in the US Open singles draw after receiving a singles wildcard. Serena, meanwhile, will not play singles at this year’s tournament. The younger sister did compete in the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship alongside Carlos Alcaraz. The star pairing reached the quarterfinals before losing to Belinda Bencic and Flavio Cobolli.
