Serena Williams looked sharper than her previous match in March as she opened her clay-court season at the Italian Open with a routine 6-4, 6-2 win over Swedish qualifier Rebecca Peterson on Monday.
Next up at the Italian Open: Sister Venus Williams in the siblings’ first meeting on European clay in nearly 17 years.
“That’s crazy,” Serena said. “I vaguely remember that, so I don’t really remember. … We play each other a lot. Seems like every tournament nowadays we meet early. It is what it is.”
Serena is now a 37-year-old mother and Venus is 38.
“It doesn’t change at all. We’re just as fierce, Venus is just as fierce,” Serena said. “We both really want to get some match play. We’ll both do the best that we can.
Serena leads the career series 18-12.
“I know that she’s going to play really well and compete really well,” Venus said. “That’s a given.”Others advancing on the women’s side included Madison Keys, Garbine Muguruza, Johanna Konta and Dominika Cibulkova.
