AP - If Venus Williams has to beat up on her little sister, she'd rather do it when there's a trophy at stake. Venus put an early end to Serena's U.S. Open hopes Sunday, beating her 7-6 (5), 6-2 in what had to be their most unsatisfying Grand Slam meeting yet. Instead of another title, all Venus got for this was a spot in the quarterfinals and a rematch with Kim Clijsters.
