Serena Williams makes fun of sister Venus' age online

Pesky little sisters never change.

Published Aug 20, 2016

Serena Williams proved she isn't above using Instagram to make fun of her older sister, Venus. Ah, 22-time Grand Slam champions, they're just like us.

Like the rest of the planet, Serena Williams saw Simone Biles and Aly Raisman get interviewed after picking up a slew of medals in Rio. By now, it's common knowledge that the very youthful USA gymnastic team members call 22-year-old Raisman “grandma,” so Serena Williams wants to know what that makes 36-year-old Venus Williams.

The younger Williams, at 34 years of age, even came up with some funny hashtags (#pettyrena).

Venus Williams still got the last laugh; she was competing in her fifth Olympic games, and walked away with a silver medal in mixed doubles, while Serena left empty handed.
