In 1989, two opponents faced off in their first tennis tournament. But they weren' t just rivals, they were also sisters. Sisters who would go on to become legends. The first sisters in professional tennis ever to be ranked #1 and #2 in the world. The first sisters to both reach the top of the rankings, and do it together. The only sisters to ever win Grand Slam titles and Olympic gold medals together. From their beginnings on a crumbling Compton tennis court to their shining achievements on the most prestigious stages, Game, Set, Sisters!: The Story of Venus and Serena Williams tells the inspirational story of two of the most beloved athletes in history and how despite being served the most challenging hardships in life-illness, family, loss, racism-they always continued to swing back stronger.
A strong picture book choice that features engaging artwork and an inspirational narrative. Fans of Venus and Serena Williams will be familiar with the basics of the sisters' background but will see the importance of their sisterly bond and how it helped them overcome obstacles. --School Library JournalAn inspiring biography of athletes, friends, partners, and sisters. --Kirkus Reviews
