Venus Williams has 23 Grand Slam titles across singles, doubles and mixed doubles
Venus Williams will compete in the women's doubles at the US Open after being awarded a wildcard with Canada's Leylah Fernandez.
At the age of 45, Williams returned to her home Grand Slam tournament for a record-extending 25th time earlier this week.
She exited the singles in a gallant first-round defeat by Czech 11th seed Karolina Muchova on Monday but will return to the Flushing Meadows courts with Fernandez, 23 years her junior.
They will face the sixth seeds - Lyudmyla Kichenok of Ukraine and Australian Ellen Perez - in the first round.
