Upset was the name of the game at Wimbledon last week, opening the door to an all-Williams final—a sibling matchup that hasn’t been seen at the All England Club since 2003.
Four-time Wimbledon champ Venus Williams and two-time champ and younger sister, Serena Williams have amassed 14 Grand Slam singles titles between them – not to mention six Grand Slam double titles, and four mixed doubles titles.
