They're back! Venus and Serena Williams are playing doubles together at Wimbledon this year, the first time the tennis stars have played doubles together in a Grand Slam tournament since 2003. The two have won a career grand slam in doubles (Wimbledon 2000 and 2002, U.S. Open 1999, Roland Garros 1999, Australian Open 2001 and 2003).But wait, there's more! They will be playing with gold Wilson racquets. Serena will be playing with a black Wilson (K) racket and Venus with a white one. The rackets have 22-carat gold leaf inlaid into the frame. They will auction off 10 of the rackets to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation later in the year.
