Wimbledon: We look at Williams sisters' past meetings

The world-beating Williams sisters go head-to-head on Monday in a Centre Court family battle for supremacy.

The American sisters have faced each other in four Wimbledon finals and both have five titles at the All England Club, their playground for the best part of 20 years.

This fourth-round clash on Monday is a match few expected to see again in a Grand Slam, but a resurgence from Venus has seen her sprint through the draw, while Serena scraped past Heather Watson on Friday.

Could it be epic? Maybe. It is bound to be utterly fascinating. And you couldn't safely pick a winner, even with Serena closing in on the 'Serena Slam' and Grand Slam.

Here we look at their five past meetings at Wimbledon ...

2000, semi-finals: Venus beat Serena 6-2 7-6 (7-3)

Twenty-year-old Venus and 18-year-old Serena slugged it out for a first Wimbledon final experience, but this was anti-climactic, not the classic many were expecting. Venus later said she was "appalled" by slurs that father Richard had fixed the result of the last-four clash.

2002, final: Serena beat Venus 7-6 (7-4) 6-3

More like it. The awesome resolve about Serena's victory silenced the grumbles of some of her vanquished opponents that the Williams family dominance was bad for tennis. Serena said afterwards: "I'm definitely good for the game. I'm really exciting, I smile a lot, I win a lot and I'm really sexy." This was the second leg of her 'Serena Slam', a non-calendar sweep of the majors which she completed with victory at the Australian Open the following January.

2003, final: Serena beat Venus 4-6 6-4 6-2

Venus defied a stomach strain and leg and hip injuries to ensure the final went ahead, but it was an altogether unsatisfying encounter. Venus clearly struggled physically through a contest described by John McEnroe as "unusual" and "a little inexplicable".

2008, final: Venus beat Serena 7-5 6-4

Thankfully this felt far more competitive than their encounter five years previously. Venus lifted the Venus Rosewater Dish for a fifth time - she has not raised it aloft since. One serve of 129 mph - a Wimbledon women's speed record at the time - showed how hard she was going for this title.

2009, final: Serena beat Venus 7-6 (7-3) 6-2

Serena played a brilliant tie-break to end Venus' streak of consecutive sets won at Wimbledon at 34 - and from there, it was plain sailing. The champion was baffled afterwards that winning three slams in 10 months was not enough to displace Dinara Safina - who had none - as world No 1. Statistics may have said one thing, but this left no doubt about Serena's status as the world's premier player.
