| Serena and Venus Williams |
There were no celebrations on Centre Court at the end of this bloodless encounter. There was just Serena and Venus softly hugging and whispering sisterly words.
These hard-hitting siblings, with a lifetime's rapport, had too much mutual respect for anything else. It was a fourth-round Wimbledon tie on the grandest stage in tennis, but it was still governed by private, family history.
The dilemma facing those watching in the warm summer breeze was summed up by the wit in the crowd who shouted, 'Come on, Williams.'
