After Williams lost in the mixed doubles quarter-finals, news broke on Wednesday, Aug. 26 that she would be returning to the court alongside sister Venus Williams for the first time since 2022.

The sisters won a last-minute wild card entry and will play women's doubles . Serena, 44, and Venus, 46, have won the women's doubles title at the US Open twice, in 1999 and 2009, and 12 more times at the three other Grand Slams.

This past June, Ohanian shared how proud their family was of Serena after she lost a three-set match during Wimbledon. The tech entrepreneur and father of two beamed with pride from the players' box as his wife returned to competitive singles tennis.

"Our little family is so proud of you @serenawilliams - even though it wasn't the outcome you wanted, you're an inspiration," Ohanian wrote alongside a carousel of images posted later that day.

He added, "We love you. @olympiaohanian @adiraohanian are also happy they got to stay up a bit past their bedtime 😏."

Then, in April, the tennis pro shared a carousel of photos on Instagram recounting her Easter weekend with her family. In one photo, Serena could be seen wearing a blue printed dress and a blue belt, posing in front of her two daughters.

Another photo showed Serena and her two daughters standing alongside her husband. The Reddit co-founder smiled while holding Adira in the rare family photo.

"I don't share these moments often, but being their mom is my favorite place to be," Serena wrote in her caption. "I'm with them 363 out of 365 days a year — and I wouldn't trade it for anything. This weekend was everything."
