Serena Williams vs Venus Williams, Wimbledon 2015: [SEE]

Serena continues her quest to win all four Grand Slams in 2015 - beating Venus 6-4, 6-3 in the fourth round at Wimbledon 

 

68 minutes after they started, here's Serena, talking to the BBC after her straight-sets win:
  It's never easy to play someone you love and care about, but you play for the competition and enjoy the moment. I served well today - I didn't hit huge serves - I was really consistent, so in the end I was able to come through. It doesn't get easier [on Centre Court].
According to www.telegraph.co.uk
 
Serena makes the first HawkEye challenge - I was wondering if there was some sort of sisterly code going on - and wins it, capitalising on the second serve to go 0-15 up. Venus loses out in a high-tempo baseline war of attrition, and then serves another untimely double-fault. Break point and match point Serena x 3. She only needs one of them to finish this off and proceed to the fifth round of Wimbledon!

Sports360: Billie Jean King pays homage to Venus and Serena Williams ahead of Wimbledon encounter

Over 17 years on from their first meeting on the professional tour, the Venus-Serena match-up remains a blockbuster affair. The story of the Williams sisters is firmly established in tennis folklore yet they’re still going strong with Serena ranked No1 in the world and Venus No16.
The Williams sisters have had every move praised, scrutinised and documented over the years, have been imortalised in movie form, had Snoop Dogg rap about them, and even left their mark on the fashion industry.
They’ve met 25 times before – 11 of which have been finals. They’ve played each other on every surface and share a rivalry that spans three decades, with Wimbledon the home to more encounters between the siblings than any other tournament.
For the sixth time, and first since 2009, the All England Club - the world’s most iconic tennis venue - will host the clash.
