SISTER V. SISTER: UNAPPEALING UNPLEASANTNESS

One of the television sportscasters opined that everyone likes a Serena Williams versus Venus Williams match, except Serena and Venus. Piffle! I doubt their family likes it. I certainly don't. They generally play relatively poorly against each other--it's hard to exhibit a killer instinct when it's someone you love across the net.

At least the matches are not all one-sided. I rememeber when Andrea Jaeger had to play her older sister many years ago. Despite being ranked in the top 10, much higher than her sister, she kept losing to big sis. It took Andrea a number of tries before she was able to conquer her sibling.
