The Williams sisters will meet for the 28th time at this year’s Australian Open women’s singles final. Tennis becomes legendary with couples like the Williams sisters, like the pair of fateful rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
This year’s Melbourne Park is a joy when the first Grand Slam tournament of the year welcomes the two most awaited finals in a long time. It was the women’s singles final between No. 2 seed Serena and No. 13 seed Venus Williams and the men’s singles final pair, No. 17 seed Roger Federer and No. 9 seed Rafael Nadal. Both pairs already have a lot of affinity with each other.

Speaking of the Williams sisters, it will be a long time before we have two tennis sisters like them. If you add up the number of doubles championships of both, the number of Grand Slams will be difficult to imagine 43 Grand Slams in your tennis career. The family relationship does not reduce the competitiveness on the field, making it even more attractive to fans.This will be the 9th time the sisters have met in a Grand Slam final. Therefore, both of them understood each other very well. With this match taking place on January 28, they will relive the feeling of facing each other for the first time at a main Grand Slam tournament at Melbourne Park in 1998. At that time, they had just reached the second round when they had to face face. Almost 2 decades later, after experiencing a lot of glory and even the thought of retirement was more or less in their minds, the two cousins met again.
In 1998, Venus was only 17 years old and Serena, her younger sister, was physically superior to her 16-year-old sister. At that time, Venus won 3 blank checks against Serena. However, just one year later, her younger sister Serena “grew up”. She won her first Grand Slam at the US Open and had to wait four years to meet her sister again at the next Grand Slam, the French Open in 2002.
