Serena wins showdown of the sisters

SERENA plumped for Catwoman over the Pink Panther on Saturday, but needed no superpowers at all to win the Williams family showdown and steal big sister Venus’s US Open crown.

Just being Serena Williams was more than enough on a balmy New York night for the 20-year-old to crush the twice-defending champion 6-4 6-3 in 72 minutes.

"It makes me run fast... jump high... like a cat," she grinned when asked about the skin-tight, black cat-suit she unveiled here last week and calls her Catwoman suit.
