Serena Williams’ attempt to help Venus Williams caught on camera

During the 2015 Australian Open, both Venus Williams and Serena Williams were at the top of the WTA. They fought against any challenge and emerged victorious most of the time. Both had each other’s backs but didn’t always do what they suggested. One instance was seen in a match of Queen V. She faced Agnieszka Radwańska and found herself on the losing end in the second set.

Venus served for the fifth game, and the score was 40-30. Radwanska returned a forehand in the service box, and Venus rushed to hit a forehand across the court. Her shot was called out but seemed uncertain. The umpire declared it to be pretty close, and Venus postulated taking a challenge but went on to serve for the next point.

The entire drama began when the 23-time grand slam champion made a video showing how most of the things in Venus’ gyms were stolen from her house. Her video went viral and thus began a drama that would rival soap operas. Venus would go on to reply by saying that her elder sister was “Permanently disinvited from my home”.
