Venus-Serena.
A 29th meeting.

When they played each other for the very, very first time.

aw why do they have to play each other so early? i wish it was a semis or finals match up :(

in Serena related news I hate Ben Rothenberg. His Serena coverage is so far past the point of a coincidence

It was past the point of coincidence five years ago, now it's just beyond obvious. He also subtly supported Sandgren so draw your own conclusions there. Seeing him getting eviscerated on twitter was life-affirming.

I saw Serena's husband and Andy Roddick calling him out for labeling their conversation "heated". I don't follow tennis but he seems like he sucks tbh.

Im so glad she is doing so well.

Unfortunately Both Azarenka and Kvitova have been knocked out.

Noooo, Vika! :'(

the GOAT is back! i hope she does well

truly the greatest

I haven't been able to see any of the WTA matches because I have TennisTV :( and can't deal with shitty illegal streams

Just saw Djokovic looking like a pile of steaming garbage. It'll take a while to get back into match shape but jesus. Very few positives

Federer also looks a bit laggy but he looks like he just needs to get into his rhythm

So hyped for Felix Auger-Aliassime! He didn't play his best in his first match but so excited he's finally on televised ATP matches lol. I imagine Raonic is going to be vulnerable coming off of injury as well

you should try youtube. they've got some really good streams. just type in serena vs venus, for instance and you'll get live links. learned that last year hunting down wta matches.
