    this was a great documentary ... I dont think the Williams sisters breakthrough/rise/dominance is appreciated enough in the realm of sports outside of tennis. There was no team.. it was them Vs . the world and they won


    Damn there changed women's tennis. No one was really checkin for women's tennis until they stepped into the scene. Plain & simple.

    lol Yeah, I'm guessing he's talking about something other than actually playing tennis because Serena turning pro made Venus obsolete unless Serena wasn't around or they were playing together in Doubles.

    I wonder what a three-way with the Williams sisters would be like.

    Serenas better no doubt, but Venus has victories, grand slams and grand slam victories over serena in her prime.

    And Venus had the faster serve, in their primes.
    Injury ? up Venus's career and shortened her prime.

    I ain't saying Venus sucked. She was great too, but Serena tooled her. Serena leads Venus 14 - 10 in the overall matches and 6 -2 in Grand Slam matches. Venus has been ranked #1 for a total of 11 weeks in her career. Serena has been ranked #1 for 130 weeks in her career. Venus has 44 titles. Serena has 51. They both got injured and dabbled in other things for a while. Venus came back and had reasonable success. Serena came back and dominated as if she never left. Basically, Serena has Venus beat in pretty much every area. Again, Venus was the truth until Serena got on the scene, and now Venus is almost an afterthought because she's been overshadowed so thoroughly.
