Playing against a sibling is not easy either. The important thing is neither sister acted like one was better than the other. Same can be said for Jim and John Harbaugh in Super Bowl 47. Two great coaches with two great teams against one another. They didn’t let the competition get between them.

Those were right in the wheelhouse for her. I just marvel at how Serena and Venus absolutely crush the ball, and neither of them is rattled. They've done this with each other all their lives so the power doesn't phase them.

[@peterzhou9267]

The commentary from Austin and the British guy was exceptional. Have watched most of it before but the commentary made me appreciate Venus' long gone intelligence in shotmaking - the selection of spin serves, body serves, net presence, and the subtle footwork. Her serve was shaky here, but compromised those by wise choices. The commentators also correctly pointed out Venus' forehand being weaker than the solid backhand, as seen here where the forehand was explosive but sketchy at times. If only Venus has 1/3 of the "thinking" as shown here today. Also she really needs to go back to this backhand.

[@TarHeelBlueFreak]

Venus was very intelligent here, that is true. But she also wasn’t in her late 30s and her body was a lot healthier here. That auto immune disorder does more than just takes her energy. She explained that. Though she has made some unwise and illogical decisions shotmaking wise for a minute, it’s probably because of her body too how she reacts.

[@peterzhou9267]

@@TarHeelBlueFreak yes, but there were a lot of subtle things she would do back in the days. She wrote notes and brought them to matches, was willing to put out gritty matches even in subpart forms by changing tactics. I know she did this even in 2012 (and 2015, I presume) but somehow she has lost the will to adjust. Of course that disease and the disastrous wrist injury factored, no doubt, but it was painful to watch her now.
