Serena did extremely well to come out of what was a tough match up with her sister, and will now face the winner of the Belinda Bencic vs. Victoria Azarenka tie.
Serena Williams continued her quest for a 6th Wimbledon title as she beat elder sister Venus to qualify for the quarterfinals.
It was a packed Monday at Wimbledon, and Serena made quick work of her sister, beating her 6-4 6-3.
It was another win in the sisterly battle for Serena, 33, who has now 15 of the 26 matches she has faced up against 35-year old Venus.
Serena wasn’t exactly euphoric over the win, and she said after the game that “it’s hard to feel excited when it’s your best friend in the world… Who knows if we’ll have a chance to play again?”
The possibility of another match-up is quite high, as Venus admits she isn’t ready to quit yet.
When asked if she’d be back next year she simply replied, “I think so.”
