US Open Tennis - Sister’s to Sledge it out for the Big One

Not so long ago the thought of either Williams’ sister claiming one more grand slam to add to their glittering array of majors titles would have been relegated to dream land but with the recent demise of the number one seed, Ana Ivanovic, at the US Open and the no show of the 2006 champion, Maria Sharapova, the odds are clearly in one of their favours.

Who will be mentally stronger on the Day?
The two will meet this evening at the Arthur Ashe Stadium and, to be honest, either of them could win the quarter final - they are particularly well-matched, both preferring the aggressive approach to the game and it will all probably boil down to which of the sisters is physically fitter and mentally stronger on the day.

Venus showed the world she is not quite ready to be written off when she claimed her fifth Wimbledon singles crown and then went on to win the doubles as well with her little sister, her prime adversary in today’s clash at Flushing Meadows. She did make short work of Serena in London, winning the title in straight sets, but today will be an entirely different challenge.

Serena showing Form
Although Serena has not won any majors this year, she is cleary playing some formidable tennis at the moment, having bagged three WTA titles this season already. Both sisters have won in New York on two occasions and Serena has claimed one more grand slam title than her sister, Venus - to date she has claimed eight titles at the majors of tennis.
