Venus and Serena Williams will take on each other in the second round of the Italian Open.
This is not a first time match between Venus Williams, and Serena Williams as the sisters have played each other too many times.
ROME: Venus Williams will take on her sister Serena in the second round of the Italian Open after battling past Elise Mertens 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 in Rome on Monday. Williams came out on top of a tight contest that went all the way to a third-set tie-break despite her winning five games on the bounce, letting the Belgian back in by missing six match points on her serve in the eighth game.
She missed a further two match points as Mertens battled to level the set at 6-6, before finally taking the match in the tie-break and setting up a headline-grabbing clash with her 10th-seed sibling.
