Wimbledon organisers are desperate to get Serena Williams into the doubles tournament and have decided to move her match with her older sister Venus Williams from Friday to Saturday.

This comes after Serena Williams injured her knee while playing in the first round of the singles tournament and was uncertain about playing in doubles.

The match marked Serena Williams' return to singles tennis after a four-year absence, thanks to a wild card into the tournament. The 44-year-old lost to Maya Joint 1-2 in sets.

Serena and Venus Williams face Solana Sierra and Camila Osorio.
