Serena, Venus set up US Open sister showdown

NEW YORK: Serena Williams will face sister Venus at the US Open for the fourth time after bringing Severine Bremond's wild card run to a halt with a 6-2, 6-2 victory on Monday.

Serena and Venus have met 16 times previously with both winning eight matches, but this will be the first time they have met in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament.

Seventh-seeded Venus, who eliminated Polish ninth seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-1, 6-3, said life on the court would be easier if she didn't have a superstar sister.
