The first pair that comes to mind is Venus and Serena Williams. Who would you say is the top pair?

How about Peyton and Eli.
My personal favorite is the Selmon brothers Lee Roy, Lucious and Dewey.

Peyton and Eli for me. Women's tennis isn't that competitive.

I'd probably say the Mannings, but the three Wistert brothers could give them a run for their money.
Al, Albert, and Francis Wistert all played DT for Michigan, all wore #11, and all were two time All-Americans. Ridiculous.

You have Tiki and Ronde Barber in football.
For tennis as well, you have the Bryan brothers who have won 11 grand slam doubles titles playing together.
I know there are others across lots of sports, but right now those 2 come to mind.
Edit: the Williams sisters have 13 grand slam doubles titles playing together.

I would go with Peyton and Eli. 3 Superbowls, and a number of awards that in my opinion top what the Williams sisters have accomplished.

The Niekro are a good one, especially for how unique they were. The Niekros have a combine 539 career wins.

Bruce and Clay Matthews played in 18 combined Pro Bowls! Don't think it gets better than that in football.

There are actually a lot of great baseball families. The DiMaggio trio combined for 22 All-Star appearances. The Boones are a classic family, as are the Alous, and the Alomars.

We have lots of football and baseball here. How about in basketball--the Gasols? The Wilkens brothers? The Collins twins? Warning-don't google "Collins Twins" at work.
