Serena v Venus @ the Open

Lila Belle — Tue, 08 Sep 2015 13:26:23 GMT

Any predictions ?

I'm going with Serena. She's been a powerhouse this year.

My head says Serena, but my heart wants Venus to win. I think the better match today will be Tsonga vs. Cilic.

I think it will be Serena; she's been having a phenomenal year.

IMHO there is no way that Venus is going to stand in the way of her sister potentially gaining the grand slam. I won't even watch their match. Imagine what would happen to their relationship if Venus was the one to prevent her sister from the major achievement?

I find it very hard to watch Serena and Venus play each other.That being said, I will say Serena,I do think Venus will push Serena, Venus has been playing well during the earlier rounds of the Open.I wish them both the best.

I think Serena always wins these matchups - in recent years, at least.

We are soooo excited ! We will be there tonight.

I'll be alright with either one winning, just don't want to be in either ones shoes.

There is no way Serena won't win. Either she will totally outplay Venus or Venus will conveniently have an off day and not play very well.

Would like to see Venus make a run at it since retirement is looming but have to go with Serena. Will miss both of them when they retire.

There will be a lot of people watching this match tonight. If Venus intentionally tanked the match, I think it would be obvious to many viewers.

Never been in a situation with sibling rivelry, but I've witnessed it for years. These women were taught to compete with all their hearts. I think that's what will happen. They know each other and are going to work each other because of that. Winner ... Lord only knows and I pray the family is proud no matter the outcome. These women have earned that!

No way would Venus roll over and let serena win. They are both hard working quality players.

I'd say that if Serena were to lose she'd rather it be to her sister than someone else.

Queen I agree with you 100%. No way will Venus lose. She will find a way to "not look like she is tanking". Also I love watching the US Open and have to say I am fed up with the press that has been given these two during other matches. Kind of insulting to the other players. I cannot stand Serena... hope she loses but doubt it...

ITA! These two shouldn't play each other because we all know Venus will lose intentionally.Sad, but true.
