NEW YORK — Can Venus Williams halt her younger sister’s march toward history?
That is the $64,000 question heading into the Williams Sisters’ epic US Open quarterfinal match on Tuesday night in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
“I’m playing, for me, the best player in the tournament, and that’s never easy,” Serena, 33, said of her 27th career professional match against Venus, 35. “She’s beaten me so many times. I’ve taken a lot of losses off of her – more than anybody.
“Yeah, she’s a player that knows how to win, knows how to beat me, and knows my weaknesses better than anyone. So it’s not an easy match at all. Hopefully things will go right.”
Top-seeded Serena is seeking to become the first person since Steffi Graf in 1988 to win the calendar Grand Slam. She is now three matches shy of accomplishing that goal, with Venus standing between her and a spot in the semifinals.
