The two sisters met at Wimbledon in July, where Serena claimed a comfortable win before going on to lift the title for the sixth time.
The big question will be whether Serena can control her nerves, because if she can she should be able to take the win and be one step closer to history. But what can you say?
“She has beaten me so many times”.
But what must it be like for the 23rd-seeded Venus to try to thwart such an effort by her little sister?
“For me, she is the only player in the draw I don’t want to play“, Serena said.
Their first competitive meeting came 27 years ago in the Australian Open second round when Serena won 7-6 (7/4) 6-1.
While many were hoping that Serena who has already won three Grand Slams this year will sail easily and win the fourth Grand Slam of the year, it seems that she will face a tough opponent in none other than her sister in the quarter finals.
“I have a lot of room for improvement”, Serena said after the 2001 final.
And, adding to the concern, Venus suddenly is playing her best tennis of the tournament.
Williams knew she faced a serious threat in the powerful 19-year-old Keys, and the six-time champion produced a clinical performance.
“I don’t think anyone wants to be a spoiler”.
“I played really well”, Serena said.
The two seem to have completely eclipsed all other top players in the tournament.
‘The first thing that comes to my mind is how would I feel to play my brother, and I don’t think that would be possible, honestly, ‘ Djokovic said. This is what we know about the Serena Williams vs. Venus Williams US Open 2015 Championship Match, as well as the start time, TV Schedule, and how to watch online with livestreaming. That would also take her haul to a 22nd Slam singles title, matching Graf’s Open era record.
Venus said she will be battling against her own desire to see her younger sister complete a historic feat.
Djokovic has won all five of their previous matches so the Spaniard, ranked No 19 in the world, poses few problems to him on paper but the memory of Andy Murray’s surprise defeat to Kevin Anderson on Monday will be fresh.
“I would love to win the whole tournament”. We’ve had the same coach for a long time.
