WIMBLEDON, England - Scoring one victory at Wimbledon is a chore.

The Williams sisters had to win twice yesterday.

Venus and Serena Williams had started their second-round doubles match against Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova on Saturday, but it was suspended by rain.

They didn't get to complete it until yesterday, with the Williams sisters coming out on top.

They then had to play a few hours later against Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Sania Mirza.

The Williams sisters won again to move into the quarterfinals.

Serena Williams gets no rest.

She will play singles today in the semifinals.

She's aiming for her fifth singles Wimbledon title.
