Serena Williams Faces Sister Venus at Wimbledon

By Published on July 6, 2015

What should prove to be a fascinating second week of Wimbledon will begin, well before most on the West Coast of the U.S. arise for the day, with the biggest fascination.

That would be Venus versus Serena Williams โ€” the Williams sisters, far from their roots in Compton in their rise to a collective 27 major titles. They face off across the tennis net for the 26th time. Serena leads, 14-11.

Early risers (match start scheduled for 5 a.m. Pacific time) may catch some of it with the expectation that top-seeded Serena, a little more than a year younger than her sister at 33 and statistically more accomplished, will handle the 16th-seeded Venus.

At stake is a fourth straight Grand Slam title for Serena (as well as a career No. 21) and the third notch in a quest for a calendar year Grand Slam. It will be the first time the two have played each other in a major tournament in six years.
