Evergreen Venus returns to grace grass of Wimbledon

China Daily  

Serena and Venus Williams pose with their trophies following the 2003 Wimbledon women's singles final, which Serena won. Having played the tournament in four different decades, Williams boasts wins over the likes of fellow Grand Slam standouts Martina Hingis, Justine Henin, Kim Clijsters and Maria Sharapova — all long retired — on the famous lawns of southwest London. Williams' 2008 final triumph over Serena was just her second win in seven meetings in a championship decider against her sister at the majors. "You could never detract from winning Wimbledon, but I'm definitely thinking about how my sister's feeling," said Williams after collecting her fifth and last title in London.
