Wimbledon 2015: Serena Williams defeats older sister Venus – proceeds to quarters
“I think I served well today,” she said. “I didn’t hit huge serves, I hit one big serve, but other than that I think I just was really consistent with my serve. She was playing really well, so at the end I was able to come through.”
Veus Williams was playing in her 18th Wimbledon. She was the oldest remaining woman in the draw at 35.
“It definitely doesn’t get easier,” Serena said. “But today I was out there and I just thought, ‘Wow, I’m 33, and she just turned 35, I don’t know how many more moments like this we’ll have.’
“I plan on playing for years but you never know if we’ll have the opportunity to face each other. I just took the moment in and I thought, ‘We’re at Wimbledon.’ I remember when I was 8 years old, we dreamed of this moment and it was kind of surreal for a minute there.”
