Instagram pic proves Serena Williams is the GOAT and also the best sister
The Williams-on-Williams final at the Australian Open Saturday was quite the event. Not only did Serena Williams beat her sister Venus to secure an open-era record for Grand Slam singles titles, she also reminded us of the power of sisterly love.
After her victory, she shared a sweet picture of her and Venus on Instagram: "The top is never lonely when your best friend @venuswilliams is there. Here's to #23. What a night for our family."
Truly, we are too blessed.
Gracious despite her loss, Venus had only praise for her sibling.
"It's a great number (23)," she told the ABC. "I know she would like to have a little more. Who wouldn't? It was a great moment. I'm very happy that she's been able to get to number 23 because there's 22 ahead of that that she also earned, and she earned it."
Serena's fiancé, Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian, was also in Melbourne to watch her victory. On Saturday, he tweeted a video showing himself in the stands, writing "I'll never forget this night. These two extraordinary women are legends. I'm so proud of you."
We all want to be part of the Williams family at this point.
