| 1730: Coral bookmakers reckon there is nothing between the Williams sisters on grass and make the pair 9/4 joint favourites to lift the 2010 Wimbledon title.
"Although Venus played the better tennis to reach the final and has won five Wimbledon titles to Serena's three now, we feel that when they meet the form book goes out the window and there is absolutely nothing between them on the day," said Coral spokesman Gary Burton.
"Regarding the final, Serena was by far the better result, she was the 9/4 favourite at the start and we didn't lay much at all.
"It was Venus who was the popular one at 3/1 after being tipped by most judges and we laid her heavily for the final itself having been 8/11 straight after her semi-final and ending up 8/15 as play started."
Serena and Venus are just 3/1 to meet in the final next year, according to Ladbrokes.
David Williams of Ladbrokes said: "The Williams girls have a stranglehold on SW19.
"There's a long year ahead and the draw might even rule it out but we're taking no chances. They could dominate Wimbledon for many more championships to come."
