Serena and Venus will play in the US Open doubles, which will be the last tournament of Serena's career.

Three Olympic gold medals have been won by the Williams sisters.

Serena Williams is going to retire after the US Open.

She has a chance to play with her older sister in the doubles.

They lost in the third round of the French Open.

They won their first Grand Slam title together at the 1999 French Open.

Serena Williams said last month that she is "evolving away" from the sport.

The first round of the US Open will begin on Monday with a match between the 608th ranked Serena Williams and Danka Kovinic.

Venus Williams is ranked 1,450th in the world and is playing in the singles.

She will face Alison van Uytvanck in her first match.
