March was a trying month for the famous dynamic duo of tennis, sisters Serena and Venus Williams. Through the death of a beloved relative and injuries on the court, the queens of the court have held together and remained the depiction of a close, sisterly bond.
On March 23, Robert Maxfield, a member of the Crips gang, pleaded no contest in the 2003 shooting of the pros' sister Yetunde Price. Price was sitting in a vehicle with her boyfriend when Maxfield took her life, allegedly believing the car encased members of a rival gang.
Physically, both had to side-step their love of the game due to injuries sustained on the court. A ligament sprain forced Venus to withdraw from the Nasdaq 100 Open in Florida in late March, while Serena Williams bowed out of the Nasdaq Open in Miami due to a knee injury.
While times are tough, the sisters shouldn't throw in the towel. The duo has become a single element for success. They have won 11 major single titles between them.
In 1999, they became the first sisters to win a Grand Slam crown together in the 20th century by winning the French Open doubles title; and by playing together in the finals of the 2001 US Open, the marked history in being the first sisters to have made it to the finals of a Grand Slam tournament. The sisters are no shadow in Hollywood's limelight either. They filmed their reality show Venus and Serena: For Real in 2005.
