Their last doubles match together came at the 2022 US Open, when they were beaten by the Czech pair of Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova.

Last month the sisters pulled out of the Wimbledon doubles after Serena, 44, picked up a knee injury.

Serena's much-hyped return to Grand Slam singles after a four-year break ended early at Wimbledon, with a first-round defeat to Australian teenager Maya Joint.

Venus, 46, has been given a singles wild card for the Cincinnati tournament, which runs from August 11th to 23rd.
