A History Between Serena And Venus
Dating back to their first head to head match, it looked as if Venus was going to run with it as in the first seven games, Venus went 6-1 against her sister. That quickly changed as Serena evened up the stakes by winning the next six matches.
Something else to bettors should be taking into consideration when looking at the tennis odds here is that since 2009, the sisters have faced off against each other 12 times, with Serena going 8-4 in that span.
The sisters are not afraid of facing each other on the big stage at all as they have previously met on much bigger occasions including the Australian and US Open as well as Wimbledon.
Bettors can use this knowledge to their advantage and place their bets on Serena Williams as she will look to keep the advantage over her sister going.
