Competing with your siblings is something that happens often between families. But when these sisters do it, America tunes in to watch. This will be the case on Tuesday night when tennis all stars Serena Williams and Venus Williams go head to head in the US Open Quarterfinals for the second time in 14 years.
ESPN reported that Serena will have to face off with another tennis great, her older sister Venus, "in a highly anticipated US Open quarterfinal" on Tuesday Sept. 8. The news comes on the heels of a celebrated win, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Madison Keys on Sunday Sept. 6. Serena's sister, Venus, also took a win earlier in the afternoon placing them both in the quarterfinals.
USA Today reports that with three more wins, Serena will achieve the calendar Grand Slam, winning all four majors in 2015. But it's the match between the sisters that viewers are anticipating. It was back in 2002 when we saw the Williams sisters battle it out at the Wimbledon, and that was a match that will never be forgotten. It was the intense playing of these sisters that has Twitter followers responding and anxiously awaiting the match and the outcome on Tuesday.
