On playing the match against Serena, the elder sister remarked that it was a test playing against her as she is really awesome. Serena in the past in 2002 and 2003 had comfortably won the Wimbledon titles against her elder sister. The match was closely followed at the court by their mother and other sister.
Venus none the less after her win at the centre court remarked that her first job is that of an elder sister and that she takes very seriously. The younger sister also however had something to smile about as she partnered Venus to the Women’s doubles title for the third time. The sisters, who were against each other few hours back, beat Samantha Stosur and Lisa Raymond 6-2, 6-2.
