Serena Williams and Venus Williams are two of the most decorated players in women’s sport, let alone women’s tennis. In careers that have spanned over two decades, Serena and Venus have thoroughly dominated the game, winning 23 and 7 Majors in singles respectively.

The two have been major arch-rivals on-court as well. Over a span of 24 years, the two have played each other 31 times in their careers. While the two sisters might have involved in some of the most iconic clashes in the past, Venus and Serena enjoy a happy and sound relationship with each other off the court. An example of the same was seen yesterday in the Instagram stories of Serena Williams.
