Wimbledon 2011: Venus And Serena Williams Finally Return To Center Stage (PHOTOS)

Are the Williams sisters back in full force?

Over the year since last Wimbledon, the tennis world has seen Serena face injury, illness and depression. Venus was out of action since January after suffering a hip injury in the third round of the Australian Open.

But now that both sisters have survived round one of Wimbledon, we could be witnessing their resurgence.

Venus took down Akgul Amanmuradova 6-3, 6-1 in her first round match on Monday, and today Serena defeated Aravane Rezai in three sets, 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 before breaking down in tears.

Not only are the Williams sisters advancing through the tournament, the're doing it in style. So much so that the Guardian's Imogen Fox recently praised Venus for serving up a fashion ace, but not without a few shout-outs to Serena.

Here's a look back at some of the pair's grand slam outfits from recent years:

Aside from being the amazing athletes that they are, these must be the best dressed women in the tennis court!

I don't think she wore that one at a grand slam match.

Yes, she did US Open; think it was around 2001 or 2002

Loving the bad@zz-ness of Serena's 2004 outfit! I think that's my favorite one!

I always get them confused.
Which one is the one with the huge rear end?

Serena isn't it? I don't know how she does it but I'm not complaining either.

Can't remember seeing anything but white at this years' Wimbledon - anyone else notice that? Oh yes, I love the Williams sisters too!

According to Wimbledon rules, can't wear anything other than white.
