Williams ends long drought
Posted March 09, 2008 11:00 pm
Serena Williams won her first title in 11 months, defeating Patty Schnyder 7-5, 6-3 Sunday in the Bangalore (India) Open final.
Williams dominated the final with powerful serves and groundstrokes. Schnyder committed several unforced errors in trying to hit deep and keep Williams at the baseline.
The 11th-ranked Williams was warned for a court violation after she cursed and smashed her racket when she faced two break points in the fifth game of the first set.
