The magnetic Williams sisters yesterday even drew home-run king Hank Aaron to the U.S Open for the first time since it moved from Forest Hills to Flushing Meadows 25 years ago. “That’s why I’m here, to see them play,” Aaron told The Post. “I would love to meet them and the father.”

Speaking across the street from where he once pounded home runs at Shea Stadium, the Atlanta resident saluted Richard Williams and his daughters.

“I think it’s amazing that any family could do what they did, especially a minority,” Aaron said. “With two young black girls, the way [their father] handled it, I think he’s brilliant. I have a lot of respect for him. He did just an amazing job with all his family.

“I admire them because they’re great tennis players, but [in] the way they handle themselves and respect others, they’ve done a marvelous job.”
