Seven-time Grand Slam singles champion, Venus Williams, yesterday defeated her younger sister, Serena in straight sets of 6-4, 7-5 in an exhibition match played on the Lord Rumens Centre Court of the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, Onikan.
The match which was the highlight of the Breaking the Mould tour of the famous tennis super-stars, was watched by a cheery and fun-loving fans, who enjoyed every moment of the once in a lifetime moment to see the great tennis stars trade volleys for the very first time in Nigeria, nay Africa.
Even before the match started, the fans had almost filled the stands, defying the high cost of tickets, which traded N5000 for the popular side and N10, 000 for the VIP and state-box seats. They showed that money was not the real issue as long as the right people were being marketed.
