Serena is 19-12 all-time against Venus, including 11 wins in majors and a 7-2 mark in Grand Slam finals. There was a stretch from 2002-03 where the Williams sisters played each other in the championship round of five straight majors, including twice at Wimbledon.

Venus Williams is back on the tennis scene and ready to compete for the first time in more than a year but she wishes her younger sister Serena were with her at the DC Open.

Venus Williams, 45, is set to play fellow American Peyton Stearns on Tuesday in the Citi Open in Washington, D.C. – her first professional match in more than a year. Venus last match came in March 2024 when she lost in the first round of the Miami Open.
