Richard has not travelled to a major tournament since the US Open last year.

Their mother Oracene guided them at the Australian Open and oversaw Venus bid for the French Open.

Venus was beaten at the Australian Open by Alicia Molik and suffered her worst French Open loss in six years with a third-round exit last month.

Serena has contested the past three Wimbledon finals, twice defeating Venus before losing heavily to Russian Maria Sharapova last year. Serena avenged that loss against Sharapova in the Australian Open semi-finals before notching her seventh major singles title.

She injured her shoulder in Dubai in March and missed the French Open because of an ankle injury.
