Ali, you are right, I stand corrected.

Final

Williams Venus (USA) - Williams Serena (USA)

............hmmmmm i think Venus should win easily. Shouldnt under estimate Serena, though.

Venus won the historic battle of the Williams siblings in the US Open final at Flushing Meadows.
The reigning champion retained her title with a 6-2 6-4 victory.

Twenty-one year old Venus' experience and brain outplayed the raw brawn of 19-year-old Serena, who produced 36 unforced errors.

Once Venus settled it was clear the Wimbledon champion was calmer, more composed and more capable of producing her best form.

She broke Serena's serve in the fifth game and again in the seventh, courtesy of a double fault from her younger sister and went on to win the first set in routine fashion.

The pattern appeared to be repeating itself in the second set when Venus broke serve easily in the first game. Her form then mysteriously dipped for a couple of games to allow Serena to break back in the fourth game and there followed two more consecutive breaks of serve as the Venus errors began to flow from her racket.

The girls began to play the best tennis of the match, a fabulous seventh game of spectacular rallies in particular lifting the crowd.

Two double faults from Serena at the start of the ninth game, however, allowed Venus to garner the crucial break and she went on to clinch her second successive title and her fourth Grand Slam title in the last six.

Yes yes yes…my guess was right!
