Venus Williams won fifth Wimbledon title

Serena Williams is an outstanding tennist, but it has being overshadowed by sister Venus, who just won her fifth Wimbledon title in 8 years.

Venus Williams is on the run to match Martina Navratilova’s record of nine titles, and as of now, she have joined a small select club of five-time winners, the other members are Navratilova, Steffi Graf (7) and Billie-Jean King (6).

It also meant the 7^th grand slam finals to have the Williams sisters as the main characters.

This surely means alot for Venus, as critics were saying that she was at her last moments of glory two years ago, now she has proven the tennis world that she still has alot to give.

It seems like if Wimbledon’s equivalent of a cup was named after the 28 year-old american tennist: the Venus Rosewater Dish, a famous plate made of silver who has been awarded to the women’s singles champion since 1986.

Sure, both sisters are almost matched even at the amount of money each one has made on their individual carrers at $20 million dollars, but in despite of being a former world number one, Serena hasn’t achieved what her sister has, as Venus Williams currently holds 37 titles, while kid sister Serena just 12.
