Venus Williams will be going for her 3rd Bank of the West Classic title today when she faces Johanna Konta. As great as her career has been, when your sister is Serena Williams, it is difficult to avoid the comparison questions. Venus responded to one with a smile after her semifinal win against Alison Riske on Saturday.

Meanwhile, fellow American Riske enjoyed her week in Stanford as well as the crowd during her semifinal match against Venus.
