In the podcast, Venus was also asked what it was playing against her older sister in such high-stake matches.
She replied, “And you just got to realize it is a moment and years from now you want to just know that you gave your best regardless of if it was your sister or not. Because you don’t get those moments all the time. Even as many times as I’ve had that moment, and she’s had that moment, those moments are still special every time so you have to treat it that way no matter who it is. And if you can just see it as a game then. It’s a lot simpler,” he said.
She opened up about playing against Serena in the closing stages of quite a few tournaments. She added about how those matches were special to both of them. Both the American greats have been off the circuit for quite some time. One just can’t wait for Serena and Venus to make a comeback on the tour.
