Serena and Venus Williams have been household names in women’s tennis since making their professional debut. The siblings have combined to win an astounding 30 Grand Slam singles titles while winning 14 Majors in doubles together.

Two decades on, the Williams sisters have crossed 40 years of age, with hopefully some more years left in the tank before calling it a day. However, they will forever go down as two of the most dominant players in the modern era.

The pair have faced each other in the biggest of stages throughout their career. While both have reached the World No.1 ranking, Serena has showcased her dominance in the circuit winning a record 23 Grand Slams. In an interview in 2009, Serena spoke about how the siblings had a competitive edge like no other.

She said, “When she [Venus]  forced me to go to college, we’d take the same class and she’d always do better. It was like, earggggh! Her scream of frustration is every bit as loud as the on-court grunt.”

“She lets one more go for good measure. “Earggggh! Why you always better than me? If I had two kids of the same sex, I don’t think I’d put them in the same sport or same thing. I obviously won’t be as hard on my kids – just because the times have changed,” she added.
