Venus Williams is into the US Open women’s doubles quarter-finals with Leylah Fernandez and now wants her old partner to come back. She says it’s time for Serena Williams to come see a match.
Williams made the plea for her younger sister to show up after she and Fernandez beat the 12th-seeded duo of Ekaterina Alexandrova and Zhang Shuai 6-3, 6-4 in their Round-of-16 match on Monday in front of a capacity crowd at Louis Armstrong Stadium.
“She’s so happy for Leylah and I, and she’s given us great advice. We just need her in the box. So, my message is, Serena, you need to show up,” the 45-year-old said.
