大小威將在慈善表演賽中對決
From correspondents in New York

SERENA WILLAIMS' left knee is well enough for her to face older sister Venus in a trio of US exhibition matches to raise money for charity.
"My knee is really solid. We had a long talk, and he's decided that he's going to act better for me," said Serena said with a laugh during a conference call on today to promote the McDonald's Williams Sisters Tour.
She hasn't played since beating US Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova to win the China Open on September 26.
Serena and Venus will conduct clinics for local children and hope to raise more than $US100,000 for charity when they play in Chicago on November 17, Detroit on November 18, and Atlanta on December 2.
"We wanted to go to different markets that don't have tennis tournaments," said Serena. "We came from not the best of areas but anything is possible, and I want the kids of Detroit and Chicago and Atlanta to know that anything is possible if you set your mind to it."
The sisters haven't played each other on tour since the 2003 Wimbledon final. That ended a run in which five of six Grand Slam tournaments had all-Williams championship matches – all won by Serena.
