The Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, have impressed with their domination of the women's event at the ongoing Wimbledon. And they will be meeting for the fourth time in the finals at the All England club and the second in a row. They played the 2002 and 2003 finals with the younger sister, Serena, winning on both occasions. But Venus won in 2008 finals and her fifth Wimbledon title.

Venus is, however, bidding to become the first woman since Steffi Graf in 1991-93 to win Wimbledon three years in a row and is trying for sixth overall.

"We have a great game. We have strong serves. I think we have pretty good returns," Serena said. "We both move pretty well. "So, I think that's a pretty solid game."

In a championship match of this nature, they are rivals and not teammates when they paired to win the women's doubles event.

Both sisters are used to this meeting. There have been seven all-Williams championship matches at majors, with Serena holding a 5-2 lead. Overall, the sisters are tied 10-10.

"We still encourage each other. "I mean, on finals day, we don't say 'you can do it' to each other. "At the same time, we're doubles partners, too, so we have to be focused on the doubles court and work as a team," Venus said. "I mean, we've got it all figured out at this point, what's coming up. So, the key is for us both to do well and to get to that final."

Before reaching the finals Serena came from a set down to beat number four seed, Russian Elena Dementieva, 6-7, 7-5, 8-6, while Venus had no problem dispatching number one seed, Russian Diara Safina, 6-1, 6-0.

Venus has won 41 titles, while her sister has 33. She has won seven grand slams, while Serena has 10 under raps. Venus was U.S. Open champion in 2000 and 2001, while she won at Wimbledon in 2000, 2001, 2005, 2007 and 2008.

Serena won the Australian Open in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009, the French Open in 2002 and the U.S. Open in 1999, 2002 and 2008, while she was also champions at Wimbledon in 2002 and 2003.

Yahoo blogger, Simon Reed, believes that Serena is the best player in the world and sees her as the favourite for the title.

"Serena is playing some of the best tennis. I've seen her play for a couple of years, in particular the first set against Victoria Azarenka in their quarter-final," he said.

"I think that Serena is the best player in the world by some way, but there is also something about grass that seems to bring the best out of Venus.

"She is ideally suited to grass, and it's fantastic to watch. Her movement around the court is so good that she's on to everything quickly so she forces errors from her opponents and her groundstrokes are consistently of high quality. She's just amazingly tough to beat.

Grass is so different to any other surface. Venus just has the knack for grass. Serena has the knack for everything and when she's on her game it's just so difficult for the others.

However, Roger Federer, who is angling for a sixth title at the All England Club, would not stick out his neck on a winner.

"It seems when they're playing well," he said, "there's not much of a chance for the other girls."

That is true, particularly when it comes to Wimbledon, where recent records and the rankings don't seem to have any bearing on how the Williams sisters will fare.

Serena showed up at the All England Club with a 4-5 record since early April. Her older sibling Venus was not much better in that span, going 6-5. Both trail number one Dinara Safina in the rankings.

And yet, number two Serena beats number four Dementieva in Thursday's semifinals and number three Venus got past Safina. As it is, one Williams or the other has won seven of the past nine championships here.

"I mean, it's been quite incredible what Venus has been able to do here at Wimbledon also, winning five times, just being so consistent for so many years," Federer said. "Serena obviously having won the career Grand Slam already, since a long time has always been one of the biggest contenders for any major in the last few years. I like to watch them because they're very powerful."

Yes, there is little doubt about the finalists.

"You never know what could happen," said eighth-seeded Victoria Azarenka, who lost to Serena 6-2, 6-3 in the quarterfinals, "but I'm pretty sure they're playing very good tennis and they deserve to play in the final.
