Serena Williams Defeats Sister Venus To Take 23rd Grand Slam Title

Written by Teunis Felter

Tennis star Serena Williams has taken her record-setting 23rd Grand Slam singles title with a win against her sister Venus at the Australian Open Saturday. The win moves Serena to the top spot in the number of major tennis titles during the Open era, which began in 1968. It’s Serena’s seventh Australian Open victory, winning 6-4 6-4 against her older sister. She now returns to the No. 1 spot after losing that ranking in September to Angelique Kerber. Despite an intense game in the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, the two sisters were all smiles and compliments in the post-match ceremony.
