| Venus and Serena Williams |
World No. 1 Serena Williams continued her path to a calendar-year grand slam title after beating out big sister Venus Williams tonight in a compelling U.S. Open quarter-final.
With sports pundits commenting it was the strongest game from Venus in recent memory - breaking her sister twice in the second set - Serena recovered her strength and came out on top 6-2, 1-6, 6-3.
'It's a really great moment,' Serena said during an on-court interview with ESPN's Mary Joe Fernandez. 'She's the toughest opponent I've ever played in my life and the best person I know.
It's going against your best friend and at the same time going against the greatest competitior in women's tennis.' 'When I'm playing her I don't think of her as my sister. When you're in the moment you don't really think about it.
We trained all our lives to play on this court and on this stage in front of you guys. It's a great honor.'
'She came out hitting so hard. I was on defense a lot because she has so much power. It wasn't really easy today at all.'
'This is a big moment for both Venus and I. We both had a chance to be in the semi-finals. It's a grand slam. We're very competitive. We're just trying to give each other a great match.'
