Only once in the last nine years has there been a Wimbledon women’s final that didn’t feature at least one of the Williams sisters. The sisters were the only two Grand Slam winners left in the women’s field—Serena has 10 major titles and Venus seven.

The sisters have met in three Wimbledon finals, including last year, and remain on course for a fourth title meeting. Venus has won two of the three. They are 10-10 in career meetings.

“I would love it to be a Williams final, and so would she,” Venus said. “That would be great.”

Venus is trying to become the first woman since Steffi Graf in 1991-93 to win three Wimbledon titles in a row.
