Tennis fans on the internet recently recalled Venus Williams taking down her younger sister Serena Williams at Indian Wells 2018.
Venus and Serena clashed for a spot in the fourth round of the Indian Wells 2018. Notably, this was Serena’s comeback tournament after a 14-month-long pregnancy break. She welcomed her first daughter Olympia with her husband and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian on September 1, 2017.
Serena entered the match on the back of two impressive wins over Zarina Diyas and Kiki Bertens whereas Venus had downed Sorana Cirstea after receiving a bye in the opening round.
Venus Williams secured the opening set in a straightforward with a solitary break of her sister’s serve in the sixth game. The following set, however, witnessed more drama as Serena Williams fought to stay in the match.
The second set witnessed five breaks of serves with three of them clinched by the seven-time Grand Slam champion to close the set and match at 6-3, 6-4 within one and half hours.
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) recollected their memories of the match ahead of the Indian Wells 2024.
