SERENA & VENUS WILLIAMS: THE GOLDEN FAMILY OF ALL TIME IN TENNIS HISTORY.

Wimbledon’s amazing champions of 2012 Serena Williams and Venus Williams overcame the road laced with injury to wind back time in a rare and remarkable feat in London at Wimbledon. Double aces gold holding silver.
It was their fifth Wimbledon doubles title together, and came shortly after Venus watched her little sister win the singles final.
“I was definitely inspired by Serena’s singles performance,” Venus said. “Obviously it’s wonderful to play on the court with her. I couldn’t have done it without her, so it’s great.”
Both sisters have battled health issues over the last two years, with Venus having been diagnosed with an energy-sapping illness and Serena overcoming blood clots in her lungs and two operations after cutting her feet on glass in 2010.
This was their first doubles tournament together in two years, and they looked as if they hadn’t missed a beat.
“She’s such a fighter, you never say die,” Venus said about her sister. “I don’t think either of us believes that we can be defeated by anything. Nothing has defeated us yet, so we’re going to keep that track record.”
Serena was the last woman to win both the singles and doubles titles at Wimbledon, in 2009.
