Serena defeats Venus to reach US Open Finals

There wasn’t much on the line when Serena Williams met her older sister Venus in the US Open quarterfinals amid an electric atmosphere Tuesday night.
Just a shot at the first calendar Grand Slam in more than a quarter century, a US Open title and the way two sisters look at each other.

In the end, little sister beat big sis in an entertaining three-setter, 6-2, 1-6, 6-3, played before more than 23,000 fans in Arthur Ashe Stadium, including Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Nas and Chris Tucker. 
Serena closed it out with a  107-mph ace before approaching the net and embracing her sister.
“It’s a really great moment,” Serena said on court. “She’s the toughest player I’ve ever played in my life and the best person I know. It’s hard to play your best friend and at the same time going against the best competitor that I know in women’s tennis.”
