DOHA, Nov 3: Serena and Venus Williams, who have qualified together for only the second time for the WTA Championships, find themselves with their most dreaded obstacle as they seek to reach the final of the women’s tour climax.

The highest profile sisters in sport are keen to show that, not only are they the best players of this decade, but they are in the process of joining the pantheon of all-time greats.

But they have landed in the same group - which means they must play each other once this week (Nov 4-9), and will have to do it twice if they are to make it an all-Williams, all American final next Sunday.

“Oh, we’re always in the same half of the draw, so we’re used to it now,” Serena said.—AFP
