“I have to first of all say great match to Serena,” Venus said. “I can’t believe that it’s five but when you’re in the final against Serena Williams, five seems too far away from that first point. She played so awesome. It was really a task to beat her. It’s so rewarding to perform here. Every time I come back I know I have the chance to play well and make history. My first job is big sister and I take that very seriously.”

“I’m so happy that at least one of us was able to win,” Serena said. “She’s played great this year. We’re just glad to be in the finals again.”

Congrats to Venus!
