No breaks in the second. Sometimes I wonder if they are as competitive with each other as it appears.

Would love to see big sis take it.

but she takes #23 anyway - back to #1; passes Graf - one more to tie Margaret Court.

Serena is the best of all time - bar none.
Venus had no chance here. Their father knows them best - from the beginning he knew Serena was more competitive. It's often like that with younger siblings - they have to do more to beat big sis.

I think it's lovely that she gets the Open record against the person who has beat her more than anyone else - her sister.

I really wish they both could have won. Love them both!
I want Serena to beat Court's record so badly. Court is an anti-LGBT hater.

She said she has no nerves when she knows a Williams will win.

Yes Margaret Court is a not nice person - I remember some of her comments and read others.
I hope Serena reaches 25. Court looked very unhappy here.
