Venus and Serena won a 6-4, 6-4 straight set rematch of their recent Wimbledon doubles championship match yesterday against the Czech duo of Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka to become the first tennis players ever to win four gold medals.
In addition to the unranked Williams sisters knocking off three ranked doubles teams and not dropping a set enroute to the 2012 London Olympic doubles crown to add to the wons they won in Sydney in 2000 and Beijing in 2008, they also extended their Olympic tennis doubles record to a spotless 15-0.Don't hate. They are all that. Just imagine where their legacy in the sport would be if the my fave tennis playing siblings had been able to stay healthy. .
And yes, they are thinking about going for the doubles golden threepeat in Rio in 2016. Should be fun to watch if that happens.
