Australian Open 2019: Few memorable moments in the past decade 

#2 Australian Open 2017: The Williams sisters reunite on court

Serena Williams beat Venus Williams by 6-4, 6-4 to win her 23rd Grand Slam title

The indomitable force when it came to women's tennis originated from the Williams sisters back in the day. Whilst Serena, with 23 Grand Slams to her name, continues to reign supreme, her older sister Venus hasn't been very consistent at the Slams of late.

However, the 2017 Australian Open was tailor-cut to give us an instant throwback to the good old days of glorious tennis as Serena set up a date with her sister Venus for the finals in Melbourne. Things simply could not get better that year when the two clashed off at a Grand Slam final stage against each other after an awfully long time. The last time the duo had faced each other in a Grand Slam Final was way back in 2009 in the All England Club, during the Wimbledon Championships.

The match spanned out to be quite exciting with Serena having to dig deep to get the better of her sister who has always been a big source of inspiration for the 37-year-old Serena. Aside from the match being a monumental significance, the speech given by Serena during the Presentation ceremony was also incredibly heartfelt as she expressed her indebtedness to Venus and congratulated her on being such a great champion.

Adding to this moment was the then unknown fact that Serena Williams was already eight weeks pregnant when she won the Championship and that garnered a lot of respect and admiration for the sheer grit and power of the younger Williams.

The Australian Open 2017 had become the perfect crucible for giving birth to memorable moments for years to come.
