The Williams sisters are again, slowly but surely regaining their footing again in the WTA tour after a long absence. Just last week, Serena won her 40th WTA title by easily winning over Czech veteran, Lucie Safarova. Venus, on the other hand, got to her second straight quarterfinal, again, after a long layover. It would be quite exciting to see her win even at least one clay tournament. I do hope they continue to gain in form since it would make the French Open exciting to watch with both of them at top form again - although clay is arguably, not their strongest surface.
