On Wednesday, you might have seen that TENNIS.comwrote about Serena Williams and Venus Williams teaming up to beat Shuko Aoyoma and Miyu Kato 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 in their first-round doubles match at the French Open. It marked the Williams sisters' first Grand Slam match together since winning Wimbledon in 2016.

It is worth noting that while this might appear to have been a David and Goliath situation, the match was anything but that. Aoyoma and Kato took it to the Williams sisters right from the opening point and the Americans needed to fight back to score a 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 win.
