Wimbledon 2005, Day 7
Twice former champion Venus Williams made Jill Craybas pay for having had the temerity to show her sister Serena the Wimbledon exit at the weekend by thrashing her 6-0, 6-2 in the fourth round.
Only once before had a player knocked both Williams sisters out of a grand slam and Craybas never looked like matching Martina Hingis's feat at the 2001 Australian Open.
Playing on the same court two where Craybas beat the younger Williams sister on Saturday, Venus restored family pride in 63 minutes to claim her place in the quarter-finals at the All England Club.
"I think it's probably a really big challenge mentally to play Serena and I in a row," said Venus. "So I guess I had a good position to be the second sister."
