Cross Court - sve o tenisu... drugačije

Q. And also, how old were you when you played your first doubles match together?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Super young. (Laughing.)

VENUS WILLIAMS: Extremely young. That's what we were saying the other day. We're the longest standing doubles team. We've been playing since the '80s together. We've got quite a record. It's been we don't even remember the first time. It's been forever.

Q. Do you remember anything about that? What you wore? What happened on the court?

SERENA WILLIAMS: Yeah, I remember a couple things. I remember sorry. (Laughing.)

VENUS WILLIAMS: Oh, no.

SERENA WILLIAMS: I remember my dad told Venus you remember this? (Laughing.) He told Venus to cross you remember now?

VENUS WILLIAMS: No. I can't.

SERENA WILLIAMS: (Laughing.) He told Venus to that she had to cross more, and so I think she got upset and she crossed when the person was serving. (Laughter.) She ended up volleying the serve. Oh, it was so funny. I remember my dad, he's so positive. He's like, Oh, no, no, Venus, not that. Just wait until after the serve. I promise you every tournament I think about that when we're in doubles. I'm thinking, Okay, I got to get aggressive. I just always think about that.

VENUS WILLIAMS: I remember that.

SERENA WILLIAMS: You remember?

VENUS WILLIAMS: Isha was serving. Our older sister was serving.

SERENA WILLIAMS: Oh, my gosh. That was so funny.

VENUS WILLIAMS: Wow.

SERENA WILLIAMS: And I also remember my dad told me I had to play the forehand because I was young and I was smaller, and then he put Venus on the backhand. It's been like that ever since. That was 20 years ago?

VENUS WILLIAMS: At least.
