维纳斯·威廉姆斯和塞丽娜·威廉姆斯是姐妹。
她们也是常常互为对手的网球冠军！
维纳斯现在排名世界第十一位，而妹妹塞丽娜已经名列第三。
两姐妹出生于加利福尼亚一个贫穷、危险的地区——毒品、暴力随处可见。
在最近一次采访中，维纳斯说，那时，她和塞丽娜进行网球训练时，子弹在空中穿梭，她们只好跑开藏起来。
终于在1991年，两姐妹及其家人搬到一个较安全的地区，从此再也没有故地造访过。

在维纳斯和塞丽娜很小的时候，父亲理查德就开始训练她们。
他对女儿总是很严格，努力训练她们，并让她们相互竞争。
妈妈布兰迪则在家中教两姐妹文化知识，这样才使她们既没有间断网球生涯，又能顺利地完成高中学业。
两姐妹如今在大学学习设计。
她们俩都对网球生涯结束后从事设计工作极感兴趣。

两姐妹的成功之路是令人惊叹的。
维纳斯第一次参加大型联赛是在1996年。
从那以后，她已经两次赢得温布尔登网球公开赛和美国网球公开赛冠军。
塞丽娜不断提高，取得了惊人的进步。
1999年及2002年，她两次赢得美国网球公开赛冠军。
2002年及2003年，她是温布尔登网球公开赛女子单打冠军。
网球是否影响过她们的姐妹关系呢？
很幸运的是，没有影响。
维纳斯说：
“我们以前彼此较量过，但从未产生过不愉快的感觉！
”塞丽娜开玩笑地说：
“如果她赢了，妈妈会让她洗碗！
