Wimbledon 2015: Serena Williams Defeats Venus Williams in Straight Sets

LONDON — Serena Williams extended her mastery over her big sister Venus, and kept alive her bid for Grand Slam history.

In the 26th career meeting between the siblings, Serena Williams dominated with her steady serve and big hitting from the back of the court to win, 6-4, 6-3, on Centre Court in 1 hour 7 minutes, extending her Grand Slam winning streak to 25 matches.

Monday’s win sent the top-ranked Serena into the Wimbledon quarterfinals as she sought a fourth straight Grand Slam title, a feat last accomplished by Venus Williams in 2003.
