Over the years, the sport of tennis has developed a loyal fan base. While individual players fight it out for singles supremacy, they also tag along with partners to attain success in the doubles circuit. At times, we see a sibling duo dominating the sport across the surfaces. In the same light, we list five famous sibling duos in tennis.

We start the list with arguably the best sisters in the world. The Williams sisters, Serena Williams and Venus Williams, have dominated the women's division like no other duo. Till date, they have won a total of 30 Grand Slams, 23 by Serena and the rest by Venus. Notably, even the younger generation of players have not been able to compete with them.
Britain's hard fighting brothers
Andy Murray and his brother Jamie have been number one in singles and doubles respectively. While they usually don't play doubles together, they recently made a winning start at Washington Open. Murray has made a good impact in singles so far, winning three Grand Slams. On the other hand, Jamie has six doubles Grand Slams, under his belt, including mixed doubles.
