Venus and Serena WilliamsDefending champion Venus Williams will face a familiar foe in the final of the Sony Ericsson Championships on Sunday.

For the eleventh time in their careers, Venus and Serena Williams will compete against one another for a singles title.

Serena advanced to the final round in Doha, Qatar after her opponent Caroline Wozniacki retired early in the second set of their semifinal because of a left abdominal strain.

Venus Williams defeated Jelena Jankovic earlier on Saturday in three sets 5-7, 6-3, 6-4.

Although they have only met in a final eleven times, overall the two sisters have played each other twenty-two times over the years. Serena leads their head-to-head record 12-10.
