Williams Sisters will face off in Wimbledon finals
Staff Reporter | Posted July 2, 2009 7:30 PMThe winner of the women's final match at Wimbledon was decided early this year. It will be the Williams Sisters.
For the fourth time, Venus and Serena Williams will face off in the championship finals of the historic tennis tournament in England.
Serena Williams defeated Elena Dementieva to win on Thursday, 6-7 (4), 7-5, 8-6. Meanwhile, two-time defending champion Venus Williams easily ousted Dinara Safina, 6-1, 6-0, in just 51 minutes of play. The New York Times called it "the most lopsided women's semifinal here in 40 years," harkening back to the day when Billie Jean King beat Rosie Casals by the same score in 1969.
The two sisters say they supported each other all the way to this point. "I wanted her to win today and she wanted me to win today," Serena told reporters after the match. (See the Associated Press video below) Now they will have to root for themselves.
Last year, Venus and Serena also played in the finals at Wimbledon. This year's final match will take place on Saturday and will air on NBC.
