2009 Wimbledon
- The Williams sisters encountered one other for the last time in a Grand Slam final at the 2009 Wimbledon. Venus was the two-time defending champion, and was expected to win it for the third consecutive year and become the first woman to win three successive titles here since Steffi Graf in the early Nineties.
However, she lost to her sister Serena in the final 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 in a match that had a lot of sentiments and theatrics from both sides of the court.
It was especially remarkable for Serena to win the title as she had come down from match point down in the semi-finals against Elena Dementieva 6-7, 7-5, 8-6 to make her way into the final. The match was played on the Fourth of July, and Serena won her third Venus Rosewater Dish and the 11th grand slam title of her career that day.
