Alas, she never made it to the Centre Court stands to support big sis. Venus was too dominant, and finished too quickly.

Here is all you need to know: Venus compiled 16 winners, one unforced error.

"She's just too good on grass," Safina said. "She gave me a pretty good lesson today."

Now two sisters who were taught the game by their parents will meet on tennis' most famous lawn one more time to settle a Wimbledon championship.

"We both play such a similar game," said the 29-year-old Venus, who is 15 months older than Serena. "I mean, we had the same teacher."

Serena beat Venus in the 2002-03 all-in-the-family finals at the All England Club; Venus won last year.

"Let's just say," Mom noted, "they take home all the money."
