A few days ahead of the US Open, Venus Williams sat for a conversation with Marie Claire, where she discussed multiple ongoing events in her life, including her dynamic with her sister, Serena Williams.

Revealing her bond with her sister and talking about how she feels about the claims made about their relationship, she said:

"There’s been kind of a fascination about Serena and I, right? Because we played [against] each other so many times and people were like: ‘How do they, like, get along? Do they really like each other? They’re just faking it,” Venus Williams said, laughing.

She added:

“So we’re really excited to actually share more of ourselves. I don’t think a lot of people know that much about us when it really comes down to it, especially our dynamic together."

Serena Williams once gushed over Venus Williams after she graced the cover of Glamour Magazine as the 'Woman of the Year' in October last year.
