CHARLESTON, S.C. – Serena Williams had completed a dazzling display of tennis to dominate her opponent and advance to her fourth finals of the year at the Family Circle Cup on Saturday.

Her excitement, though, was over the weeklong play of sister Venus despite big sister’s inability to slow down Serena.

“She’s had a great week,” Serena said

So has Serena, who won her 14th straight match here with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Venus Williams – the most one-sided result in the sisters’ long, intense rivalry.

Serena got started early with her powerhouse serves and rarely let Venus gain any ground.
