The two sisters embraced tennis together and tackled challenges in their professional and personal lives. They’ve had the opportunity to face each other 31 times on the court. However, Serena, being the more dominant of the two, stamped her name on 19 of those matches!

She talked about her mother’s and younger sister’s reactions to her almost three-decade-long career, “My mom and sister still come to this day just like…Aren’t you tired of tennis? You know how hard it is to sit not only through one match within another match and then a doubles match later that day?”

Venus also discussed playing against her elder sister, “Those are definitely the best moments of my life…being on the court with her (Serena) and the time that we have gotten to share, which is a very unique experience.”
