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. Venus, meanwhile, had downed Sorana Cirstea after receiving a bye in the opening round.
Venus Williams secured the opening set against Serena in a straightforward manner, with a solitary break of her sister’s serve in the sixth game. The following set, however, witnessed some drama as Serena Williams fought hard to stay in the match.
The second set had five breaks of serves, with three of them in favor of the seven-time Grand Slam champion. She closed the set and match out 6-3, 6-4, after one and half hours of play.
