The relationship between Venus and Serena Williams is pretty unique. They’re both different and alike in many ways. For this reason, they are the ideal pair, both on and off the court. And as they are siblings, they also do have this natural rhythm and understanding of each other’s abilities and playing styles. Earlier today, Venus was seen answering fans the question related to tennis on Instagram.

Following Venus’s debut in 1994, Serena Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam winner, followed her sister’s path. In 2000, when Venus won her first Grand Slam at Wimbledon, Serena had already established herself as a dominant player.

A journey to be very proud of for the Williams sisters

Both tennis greats of the 2000s dominated the tour and frequently faced off against one another in tournament finals. During her heyday, Venus won five Wimbledon grass court titles and two US Open crowns. However, due to Sjogren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disorder, she was unable to fully utilize her talents.

The former world No. 1 has won 49 singles titles and 22 doubles crowns. She also had her best-ever season at 2017 Australian Open and advanced to the championship round. But in the end, it was her younger sibling who ultimately prevailed. On the flip side, Serena is one Grand Slam title away from equaling Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 major titles. To top it all off, both Williams sisters have brought home eight Olympic gold medals for the United States.
