the only match between the williams sisters during 2001 occurred in the final of the us open, where they had never met but where both had previously won singles titles. this was the first final involving sisters at a grand slam tournament during the open era and the first since the watson sisters played in the 1884 wimbledon final. this match has been described as arguably "the most-anticipated tennis final in years". however, nerves seem to have played a factor in the match, which was won easily by venus 6–2, 6–4. noted journalist peter bodo has said that this first grand slam final played between the williams sisters was "really a pretty lousy match... even though it was a great performance by the winner." with the victory, venus now led their rivalry 5–1 and in grand slam singles titles 4–1.
