Serena Williams' hopes of playing alongside older sister Venus in the Wimbledon doubles look in doubt after she injured her knee in her singles comeback.

The pair, who are six-time doubles champions at the All England Club, are scheduled to reunite on a Grand Slam court for the first time since 2022 on Friday.

However, 44-year-old Serena Williams might not be fit enough to play after her knee swelled up during her defeat by Australia's Maya Joint on Tuesday.

The 23-time Grand Slam singles champion did not speak to the media following the match, with Wimbledon organisers saying she was "not able to undertake" her duties.

"Serena tweaked her right knee at the end of the first set and was therefore excused from her media obligations by the Wimbledon and WTA medical teams," said Williams' agent Jill Smoller.

Novak Djokovic claimed his latest piece of history as he battled past Arthur Rinderknech to reach the Wimbledon fourth round and equal Roger Federer's men's record of most singles match wins at SW19.

After the seven-time champion produced a statement performance against former top-10 player Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round, Djokovic had to overcome a far sterner test on his return to Centre Court.

But the 39-year-old Serb withstood an inspired resurgence from French 25th seed Rinderknech to prevail 7-5 6-4 1-6 7-6 (7-4).

Nine-time women's champion Martina Navratilova is now the only player to have won more singles matches (120) than Djokovic (105) at Wimbledon.

Victory also meant Djokovic matched eight-time men's singles champion Federer's record of Wimbledon fourth-round appearances by reaching that stage for the 18th time.
