Williams Sisters Hunt Wimbledon Ladies Double
Monday 30 June 2008 at 09:30
Venus and Serena Williams will be looking to maintain the prospect of meeting each other for a third Wimbledon ladies final when they take to the courts today for their respective fourth round matches. The older of the two sisters plays first on Court Two and is a big favourite at the bookmakers to progress to the quarter-finals against Alisa Kleybanova. Boylesports offers 1/7 on a Venus victory, while Kleybanova is 11/2 at VC Bet. Meanwhile, Serena is an even bigger favourite in the betting, with punters able to get 1/9 at Boylesports that she defeats Bethanie Mattek, who is 7/1 at Bet 365 to spring the upset. The Williams sisters are expected by many to face each other in the final of the competition, which would be the first time they have contested the Wimbledon ladies crown against each other since 2003. Serena won both the previous meetings, although reigning champion Venus is expected to get revenge this year, with Sportingbet making her 2/1 favourite to win the tournament, while her younger sibling is 11/4.
