The Williams sisters. They are the yin and Yang of one another. Different in their outlook, but linked by history and the sisterly bond.Serena Williams, naturally has been the undisputed North Star of this U.S. Open. After announcing plans to "evolve" away from tennis after she has hit her final ball at the tournament her, she has been the most adored player of the tournament , and in fact the world of sports that is praised and adored and bathed in diamonds and lights for her final song.Venus Williams, who is 42, the pioneer and more experienced than her sister, has willingly accepted the background, like it has been since Serena assumed the title of the her most famous and successful sister.But with Venus's years piling up and her ranking stuck in the 1500s it could be her last match, too.Venus took to the court for her first round match of the week with the same Zen-like, statuesque calm which has been her signature for a long time. Through an error-prone loss played in front of a hushed, half-full Arthur Ashe Stadium, Venus's determination did not broke.At almost every point of her loss, 6-1, 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-5) to Alison Van Uytvanck of Belgium, she was the picture of poised shoulders, chins-up and a chin-up.
