A history of Venus and Serena Williams being awesome together
Venus and Serena Williams will square off against each other for the 27th time at the US Open on Tuesday. It’s never easy to face your sister, but the match is even more fraught with tension than usual. A Venus win would dash Serena’s hopes of tying Steffi Graf’s Grand Slam record and of getting her first-ever calendar year Grand Slam. A Serena win would continue what has to be a painful string of losses for Venus in recent years. It’s almost too much to handle. Venus and Serena’s mother can’t even stand to watch the match.
