“Siblings may squabble like cats and dogs, but they love each other like crazy.” This phrase is possibly relatable to all the sisters out there, maybe to the iconic sister duo, Serena and Venus Williams as well. With a combined 30 Grand Slam titles between them, they have dominated tennis for decades. But that’s not it. Their playful jabs have equally captured our hearts! Serena’s latest fun banter with her sister has once again reminded us of it!
Imagine a Gucci bag, customized with your name on it. Well, Serena doesn’t have to imagine it because she has it in her collection now! “@gucci, you are so good to me,” the 23-time Grand Slam champion wrote in her Instagram story after receiving a beige-colored handbag from the brand. But what stole the show was her name embedded on the inside of the bag.
“I absolutely love this. Thank you so much. You guys are amazing. Wait a minute, that is my name on it. Oh my goodness, that is so cool! I love it,” the 41-year-old former player exclaimed while uncovering the gift. However, after that, she uttered the same warning that all siblings at some point might have heard in their lives.

“Venus, you can’t steal it!” How could she, especially after seeing the name? But Williams had to make sure that Venus didn’t, and so she wrote in her post, “@venuswilliams stay away.”

In the past, Serena has admitted that Venus likes to go shopping. Posting on her social media, Serena has even provided some glimpses of their shopping trips too, writing, “Shopping with @VenusWilliams.” But perhaps it is Serena’s collection of bags and clothes that endears her more, echoing the emotions of probably all the sisters out there.
And if it’s Gucci, then the temptation rises even more! However, Serena also tries to take her revenge. Known as a prankster among the duo, she teased her sister at a Gucci event again last month! But it did not involve a Gucci product but Venus’ unsteady walk-in heels.

Have an interesting take?
Following her with her camera in hand, she made car noises to annoy Williams. And she did succeed, as in the next moment we see Venus turning around with an irritated look on her face. Not only this, but once she also accused her older sister of stealing her workout equipment and amused us all with a hilarious twist!
Serena makes a humorous reference to her sister being a theft!
When Venus’ brand EleVen posted a video of the 7-time Grand Slam champion working out on a tennis court, Serena’s eyes fell on her warm-up band in the clip. She made a quick protest by accusing her older sister of stealing it! “Great video from @venuswilliams. But that is my warm-up band.” Not only that, earlier, she also added another story hinting at the same.

The former World No. 1, posted on TikTok, “I’m here to confess that my sister is a thief. Here’s evidence. So I’m at Venus’ house and clearly this is where all my workout balls went but I’m trying not to complain. I’m trying to just be positive here. This amazing reformer was mine. I keep asking her for some money but she’s outright refused.”
Venus might have been the target of Serena’s joke, but she took it in stride. And in the future, we continue to crave more of such precious moments between the duo!
