U.S Open: The William sisters will battle it out in the quarterfinals Tuesday!
Serena Williams was all smiles at the Arthur Ashe Stadium
after her win over up-and-coming American Madison Keys on Sunday. Taking the
day off, Williams seemed highly satisfied with her performance in which she
made only six unforced errors ending in a 6-3, 6-3 over Keys in the U.S Open and will meet older sister, Venus Williams in the quarterfinals. Venus Williams
who effortlessly won over Estonia’s Annett Kontaveit 6-2 6-1 on Sunday will be playing
against little sister Serena on Tuesday for the 27th time.
Serena Williams has won 25 out of 25 Grand Slam matches
so far this year, in an interview with ESPN analyst Mary Joe Fernandez she said - “I’m
going to take the rest of the day off”
No hint of sibling rivalry here as Venus was asked on court,
after her victory, what it was like to be part of this great sibling rivalry.
"It's awesome," she said. "I'm proud of her.
She's proud of me."
Serena said, "I'm playing the best player in the
tournament. She knows how to play, how to win. She knows all my
weaknesses."
And later, "We have proven you can be enemies on the
court and friends after."
Stats: William sister’s showdown

first time at the Australian open in 1998.
