Nearly every player who came in this weekend for pre-tournament media obligations at Wimbledon was asked about Serena Williams, and her chances of sweeping all four grand slam events in one year. After Roger Federer took his turn complimenting Williams’ dominance on Saturday afternoon, he pivoted to her sister.
“Also Venus, I must say,” Federer said. “We don’t talk about Venus that often because Serena has been so dominant. Actually, that they’re both still playing is more of a surprise to me. But that they are playing, it doesn’t surprise me they’re actually playing well. It goes hand in hand.
