The correct answer is D, US Open 2001. In the 2001 US Open womens singles final, Venus Williams defeated her younger sister Serena Williams in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-4. This event was historic as it was the first time in the Open Era that two sisters met in a Grand Slam singles final. While both sisters reached the later stages of other majors that year, it was at the US Open where they faced each other for the championship title. Venus Williams successfully defended her title during this tournament, marking her fourth Grand Slam win at the time.
