SERENA BEATS VENUS: Compton-bred sisters ranked No. 1 and No. 2.
Serena and Venus Williams
(Jun. 10, 2002) *The Williams sisters are dominating women's tennis. Serena and Venus have won six of the past 11 major tennis events.
The latest event was last Saturday's French Open final, which Serena won 7-5, 6-3, over her older sibling Venus.
"Hopefully we can build a rivalry and we'll be able to do this a lot," said Serena. "Make a legacy, then retire champions."
In the new rankings that are out today, Venus is No. 1 and Serena is No. 2.
They are the first siblings to sit 1-2. Their top rankings mean they may face each other again, including during the upcoming Wimbledon tournament.
