Serena Williams vs Venus Williams in their 30th career matchup | US Open 2018 Round 3

From the day the names were placed on the lines of this year’s draw, fans have been eagerly anticipating this 30th career matchup between the Williams sisters, Serena and Venus. This meeting between the superstar siblings, who between them own a staggering 30 Grand Slam singles titles, marks the earliest they’ve met in a major since the first time they met in a major, way back in 1998 in the second round of the Australian Open. Elder sister Venus won that one in straight sets. The timing of this tussle is primarily a product of Serena's time away from the tour—absent for almost a year due to her pregnancy and the subsequent birth of her daughter Olympia one year ago tomorrow. But a great show is a great show, regardless of when you see it. And Williams-Williams is always a great show. Twitter:   / usta   Facebook:   / usta   Website: https://www.usta.com
