During her appearance at the New York Times' DealBook Summit, Serena Williams suggested that without their matches against each other, Venus Williams could have easily won 15 Grand Slam titles, and Serena could have accumulated 30. She also touched upon their close bond, saying:

"There was no separation at all. Looking back, I don't know how we dealt with that. We were so close, we grew up so close. My family was like, 'No fighting, you girls are always going to be sisters and that's that,'" Serena said.

"But we actually lived together until I got married, which wasn't that long ago. We just always lived together. I think that helped our relationship. We had to figure out a way to work it out. We had to communicate, you know, we had to have those difficult conversations. I think we just, without even realizing, leaned into that. As long as I was winning," she added.

Serena retired from playing professional tennis in 2022 to focus on her family and various ventures. Meanwhile, Venus has expressed a desire to return to tour even after just playing two events in 2024. She has not officially retired from the sport and we may see more of the 44-year-old on the court soon.
