Venus and Serena Williams a tough sister act to follow

The Williams sisters arrived on the tennis scene in the late 90s and since then have developed into marvelous hard-hitting women. Not only do Venus and Serena possess the power to dominate in singles, but when they are on the same side of the net they are even more dangerous.

It may be true that they don’t compete at every tournament together, but when they do, they are one of the best doubles partnerships in tour history. For the most part, they focus on their singles career, both having exceptional success. 

Together the two women have captured 65 singles titles, including 14 Grand Slam victories. Serena, the younger sister, has triumphed at all four Grand Slams already in her extraordinary career, winning the Australian Open three times, Wimbledon twice in addiktion to the French and the US Open.

While Venus lags behind in Grand Slam titles, she is nothing short of phenomenal. It’s evident that she’s a dominant force on grass, claiming four Wimbledon titles already. She has also claimed two titles on the US Open Hard courts, and fell in the other Grand Slam finals to her younger sister. Also, in 2000 Venus managed to walk away with the gold medal at the Sydney Olympics.
