 Serena Williams wins Doha Masters 2009 Doha, Qatar. Serena Williams bested big sister Venus again on Sunday, winning 6-2, 7-6 (4) in the season-ending Sony Ericsson Championships final.Serena broke twice in the first set and lost just seven points on serve in her last match of the year. She looked sharper than Venus in every facet of a match that featured few long rallies and little of the spectacular tennis the two have provided in some of their previous meetings.Serena sealed the match with a crosscourt forehand and celebrated with a simple fist pump before hugging her sister.“It feels great,” said Serena, who also won the WTA Tour’s season-ending event in 2001. “I totally didn’t expect to come here and win.” “It was the end of the season, so I have no complaints,” Venus said about her fitness level. “You have to show up and play no matter what. So that had nothing to do with it.”Venus played with her left knee strapped while Serena had strapping on her left thigh.“We definitely weren’t physically 100 percent out there today,” said Serena, a day after pulling out of next weekend’s Fed Cup final against Italy. “Right now, I’m just struggling in every aspect of my body.” |
