Both Venus and Serena Williams cruised past their first round opponents at Wimbledon.

Venus, the defending two-time champ, defeated Stefanie Voegele 6-3, 6-2 while Serena knocked off Neuza Silva 6-1, 7-5 on Monday.

All eyes will be on Venus to see if she can win a sixth Wimbledon title.

And with Serena in the opposite bracket, we could see another Serena-Venus showdown on July 4th for the title.

Who do you like more on grass – Venus or Serena?

Venus Defeats Serena at Wimbledon

Big sister finally wanted it more.

After losing five straight Grand Slam championships to her young sister Serena, Venus Williams won her fifth Wimbledon title on Saturday, 7-5, 6-4.

The sisters would team up later in the afternoon to win the women’s doubles title over Lisa Raymond and Samantha Stosur.

This might have been the last time we see both sisters facing off each other in a Grand Slam final.

Venus is 28, the magical age where tennis players start to decline on the court.

Serena, 26, has battled injuries over the last few years and with eight Grand Slam titles, has little more to prove in the sport.

Enjoy it while it lasts.
