London: Serena Williams had to earn two doubles victories with older sister Venus at Wimbledon on Wednesday, a day before her singles semi-final against Victoria Azarenka.
The Williams sisters were finally able to complete their second-round match against Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova that started on Saturday but was suspended by rain. It picked up in the third set on Wednesday, with the Williams sisters winning 3-6, 6-3, 9-7.
The sisters returned to the court a few hours later to beat fellow American Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Sania Mirza of India 6-4, 6-3 and move into the quarter-finals.
Serena needed her left ankle re-taped during that match but her father, Richard, said it was nothing to worry about ahead of Thursday's semi-final. Serena is aiming for her fifth Wimbledon title in singles.
