NEW YORK — The Williams sisters are taking on the Manning brothers in a race to see who can put away Oreo cookies the fastest. Venus and Serena Williams, winners of 15 majors combined, used U.S. Open media day Saturday to announce their plans to join the Double Stuf Racing League. It matches a move by Peyton and Eli Manning earlier this year.
Both pairs of siblings will appear in a national ad campaign starting Monday, opening day of the final Grand Slam event of the season. “They’re going down,” said Serena, who won Olympic doubles gold with her sister in Beijing. The Mannings, the winning quarterbacks in each of the past two Super Bowls, launched DSRL earlier this year, creating a friendly competition to see who can twist, lick and dunk an Oreo cookie and drink a glass of milk the fastest.
