Serena Williams improved to 19-12 in the 22-year-old rivalry with Venus.

LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY - AUGUST 13: Serena Williams serves during her match against Venus Williams during Top Seed Open - Day 4 at the Top Seed Tennis Club on August 13, 2020 in Lexington, KentuckyWASHINGTON - Serena Williams rallied to defeat sister Venus Williams 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Thursday in a second-round match-up of Grand Slam champions at the WTA Top Seed Open.

"I honestly didn't come here to win for the first time in my career. I just came here to get some matches. I haven't had this much time off since I had the baby." Serena followed the call with her 14th ace and won after two hours and 19 minutes when Venus sent a forehand beyond the baseline. "This was right up there," Serena said."I'd say it was one of the all-time top five super-competitive matches between the two of us."

Venus, 40, and Serena, 38, had a combined age of 79 years and 19 days, the third-oldest combined age of any WTA Tour match.
