Serena Williams tells sister Venus she’s 'going down' in hilarious rant

Serena Williams has jokingly blamed her sister Venus for keeping her up all night and ruining her sleep schedule. 

The Williams sisters are two of tennis’ most iconic figures and have enjoyed some memorable battles against one another over the years. 

Away from the court, however, the two have always been extremely close and supported each other through everything. 

Their journey to tennis stardom, which saw both overcome adversity, is documented in the biopic King Richard, starring Will Smith as the sisters’ father, Richard Williams. 

Serena and Venus attended the wedding ceremony of David Beckham’s son, Brooklyn, at the weekend and Serena posted a hilarious Instagram story about her sister at the end of the night. 

After coming back late from the ceremony, Serena uploaded an Instagram story stressing how tired she was and that she planned to go to sleep straight away. 

However, six hours later she posted another story and revealed she and Venus had been on a phone call until the early hours of the morning. 

The former world number one jokingly criticised her sister, stressing: “My sister is a problem. She had me out all hours of the night. And then, we talk on the phone until 5 AM. I’m like, you know, Olympia [Williams’ daughter] is gonna wake me up at 7 AM. No matter what time I go to bed. Thanks, Venus. You’re going down.”

Judging by the clip, Serena’s threats were clearly meant in jest and it’s heartwarming to see the two sisters still inseparable from each other. 

It’s pleasing to see there’s still a healthy rivalry between Serena and Venus, even after more than two decades of competing against each other on the WTA Tour. 

Both sisters have been ranked world number one in singles and the two have won more than 100
