Venus Williams rolled back the clock at the Rogers Cup in Montreal Saturday to claim victory over her younger sister and World No 1. Serena Williams for the first time in five years.
The unseeded Venus lost the first set of the semifinal matchup on a tie break but battled back to win 6-7 (7/2) 6-2 6-3 in just over two hours.
Venus secured what was effectively the match-wining break in the sixth game of the final set before holding her nerve to serve out.
Although she came up short on Saturday, Serena still leads the family head to head in competitive matches by 15-11.
The pair have won 26 major singles titles between them (17 for Serena and nine for Venus) and first faced off in the Australian Open in 1998.
